...reported that in order to settle the much-disputed question of the football championship, Princeton has informed Yale that she would accept a challenge from Yale, the match to be played in the spring. If at the end of two innings neither side is ahead, play is to be continued in hour rounds, until one side wins...
...Scholastic, with which it is waging bitter war on the question of a college paper's right to publish official communications. The Yale News appears to be seriously alarmed at the indications of a "brace" by Harvard in athletic matters. "When Harvard braces it means that there is work ahead.

...Freshmen is hardly excusable. Good substitutes are at hand for the '83 crew, while the 'Varsity has to look elsewhere to find men to take the place of any of the regular Crew who may unluckily be unable to row. For '83 to place its own interests ahead of those of the whole College is happily without precedent, and we trust that no succeeding class will follow them in the matter...
