...hand or arm is not, and if they are used the balance of the sport is disturbed, because the tackling is rendered so ineffective as to be well nigh useless in the case of individuals, and the advances can only be checked by massing players at the point of attack. It is the open play that should be encouraged and not the mass work. The massing of men will be done to a sufficient extent if the rules are lived up to, while if they be infringed it will assume an undue preponderance in the play. It will not become...
...debate was opened by W. H. Davis, '93, who dwelt upon the attitude of the Republican party towards the coinage of silver, both at present and in the past. H. Hudson, L. S., followed for the negative, with a vigorous attack upon the Silver Bill of 1890. F. W.

Scarlet fever is going the rounds at Yale, attacking with its usual lack of discrimination some of the very men whom the college can least afford to have laid up at this time of year. Capt. Van Huyck, of the freshman crew, is seriously ill, having caught the fever some days ago by wearing the sweater of another oarsman who is down with the disease. The managers of the Navy feel great anxiety, for the 'varsity men have been exposed as well as the freshman candidates, and any man who has an attack of scarlet fever at this time...
