...Yale, which has been the most successful in the sports, has gained in the ten years a much smaller percentage than Princeton, so far as the college and scientific school freshman classes are concerned. In this table, however, the fluctuations in the size of the freshman classes correspond rather better with the fluctuations of victory and defeat than they do in the Harvard-Yale table. The figures for the scientific schools of Yale and Princeton cannot well be compared, because in 1894 the Sheffield Scientific School lost numbers temporarily on account of a distinct increase in its requirements for admission...
...Yale and Princeton. The two games with Cornell showed that the team lacked accuracy in tossing goals and in passing the ball.

The place of Goodridge, who will not play tonight, owing to a protest from Columbia, will be filled by Lovering, a hard, aggressive, but inexperienced player. Owing to this change...
