...well know-these embyro ruffains have no business whatever to cross the fence which bounds Jarvis on its four sides. The (college) law says so, and if the law were only like those of the Medes and Persians, we should not be continually bothered by these infantile pests. Why cannot something be done, either by the Athletic or the Foot-Ball Association, to put a stop to the nuisance? It seems strange, indeed, that Harvard students cannot assert their rights even in the face of so strong an opposition as that of the almighty and omnipresent Cambridge mucker...
...they may accept and profit by advice as to how best to develop their powers. Still, to these the monotony of the gymnasium will in the long run become irksome. The tennis player will admit that his right arm exceeds his left, without caring to correct it. He cannot correct it without taking time from his favorite game, and there by injuring his proficiency. Is it likely that he will make this sacrifice from an abstract love of the symmetrical? And is it reasonable to ask that he should? When we consider the numberless varieties of temperament and disposition...
...this fall, else he could not have failed to notice that the management of the foot-ball team has been better this year than it has for a long time.

The injury to Captain Beecher, coming as it does alomst on the eve of the contest with the men from Jersey, is a very critical one, and if it does not deprive Yale of the championship it will at least injure the chances greatly. Beecher cannot play for a week at least, and even if he recovers sufficiently to play in the game with Princeton on the 19th, he will be under the double disadvantage of a lack of practice and a very tender leg. Beecher is the only man in college who is a first...
...rush line is all that will save Yale from certain defeat. There are several weak spots in it now, but good coaching ought to remedy these within the next nine days. Most of the men in the rush line are really phenomenal players, but still they cannot play the whole game any more than a crack battery can win a championship for a poor base ball nine. Pratt and Wallace are to be the end rushers. The former was substitute in the '87 crew, and the latter has made a great reputation during the last two seasons by demonstrating that...
