...Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day of next year, in accordance with the terms of a challenge from Pennylvania. This challenge was received the first of the year, but negotiations then going on with Princeton prevented Harvard from accepting it until the last of April. The important provisions of the final agreement concerning the composition of the teams, settle the disputed questions as to amateurs, bona fide students, the time limit, and the announcement of names of players, in the most satisfactory manner possible; and it is interesting to notice that the rules on the same subjects which Yale recently allowed...
...following year, playing for the first time with elevens, Yale won by a score of one goal to nothing. Harvard made two touchdowns, but by previous agreement these did not count. In 1877 Yale again wanted to play with elevens, but the Association, of which Harvard was a member, prescribed fifteen; and in consequence there was no game.

Written compacts, in black and white, will have to be made between each two of the institutions before this petty squabbling can be stopped. Harvard has a perfectly plain agreement with Pennsylvania in football and with Yale in other sports, which practically settles the points over which there has been so much dispute in the association. This is precisely the thing which will have to be resorted to in other cases. This mode of settling the question will not only bring...
...Exeter-Andover game will be played at Exeter on Saturday, November 11. The umpire will be Charles H. Schoff, ex-captain of the University of Pennsylvania team, and the referee will be Gardiner Perry of the Harvard Law School. The game will be played under agreement signed by managers Clark of Andover and Wright of Exeter. Should any protest or dispute arise that cannot be settled by the two managers, it shall be submitted to three judges, each manager selecting an alumnus of his school, and these two a third. Their decision will be final, and failure to comply with...
