EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : It is doubtful if the corporation will allow the Athletic Association the use of the training room in the society building any more. If a man can be hired, however, to have charge of this room, and to be held responsible for any injury done it, the corporation may be persuaded to allow the association to continue to use the room. If a sufficient number of men desire to be rubbed down, a man can be hired to act as "rubber down" and superintendent of the training room. The following scale of prices has been drawn...
...Yale vs. Columbia, Nov. 18, at New Haven; Harvard vs. Yale. Nov. 22, at Cambridge; Princeton vs. Yale, Thanksgiving day at Polo Grounds. Princeton tried to push a motion through the convention to restrict the number of rushers in a scrimmage to six of each team, and not to allow the half-backs to come nearer the rusher-line than ten yards, when the ball was to be snapped back.

...Lacrosse has not heretofore solicited subscriptions from the college. There are many players who can afford their own sticks and uniforms, but who do not wish to pay their car-fare and hotel expenses when they go off to play.

But the college is not going out of its way to subscribe to lacrosse, when the foot-ball and crew men have their ever present necessities. It will be of advantage to Harvard if she is represented at the games to be played...
...Harvard's superiority over Yale in point of numbers. Now with all proper respect for this professor, we believe that there are certain other fully as potent reasons that are patent to the most casual observer. It has, we believe, been distinctly stated that the faculty positively could not allow larger classes to enter since they have not the accommodations either in rooms or instructors for them. It should be remembered, let us mention right here, that Harvard's classes always sound much larger to us than they are; the numbers they give - 286 this year - include what would...
