...students have blamed the college authorities for not realizing how impossible it is for our nine to compete with nines of other colleges without good instruction, but we have done the same thing ourselves with regard to foot-ball. We must all of us, faculty and students, understand, once for all, that it is just as impossible for the average man to excel in athletics without instruction, as it would be for him to excel in his studies without instruction; and that it is just as absurd to expect an uncoached crew, nine, foot-ball, lacrosse or cricket team from...
...Yale News, in a recent editorial, severely criticises our freshman for the delay in arranging the '87 game, and naturally attempts to lay the whole blame upon our side. It says : "They now propose to play '87 at Providence on the Saturday after Thanks-giving, which will deprive many who expect to go home at that time of the pleasure of witnessing the game.

But that there is something the matter is perfectly evident, and it lays with him to find out its cause and nature. The contesting teams were as follows...
...unsuccessful man, and defeat is not popular. Like the Spartan mother, we say, 'return with your shield or on it.' " Yes, Yale is the wrong place for the unsuccessful man. This was proved by the fact that "the smallest man in college" was picked out to bear the blame of her recent defeat at New London and was obliged to give up his studies at that seat of learning "because they made it too hot for him." But, fortunately for Harvard, such sentiments do not prevail here. No man has ever been obliged to leave Cambridge because his athletic record...
