Although we still deprecate the recent action of our faculty, it is only on account of their bad taste in the selection of the time for their declaration. In the main point at issue,-the improving of the character of the game,-we entirely agree with the faculty, and feel that some radical change is necessary. We emphatically stated our position last year on the style of play, which was first given its name of Yaleism by one of our correspondents, and we hold the same position this year. Foot-ball with all its roughness can be made a gentlemanly...
...advantage to faithful students while it would work great harm to ordinary ones, by cultivating and fostering neglectful habits of work. To be sure there are certain advanced courses which a man can take if he pass off his freshman work in them, but these are not always taken.

Richards and Terry tried desperately for goals from the field, but were each time interrupted by the sharp play of our rush line which soon settled down to hard and steady work. Harvard was held back for some time until finally...
...There is a miniature world here, and it is made up like the outside world. But in reality, a part of this cry is owing to the fact that when a man excepts a scientific fact like the Darwinian theory, that he is supposed to be going to the bad. A man comes here to be broadened in his views. not to be taught dogmatically what he shall and what he shall not believe.
