...last Saturday, or the inconvenience of having apparatus misplaced for a day or two this week, were the only objection, I suppose little fault would be found; but when, for the benefit of Cambridge people, or of a part of the faculty, the gymnasium is, to a certain extent, rendered unfit for exercise and even dangerous to those who practice there, I think we may fairly complain.

We are further pleased that the fact has been recognized that Yale does not depend on weight for the make-up of her teams. We are not certain that the papers would not have spoken differently if Yale had won. But that is a matter for conjecture only. Harvard will undoubtedly put a freshman team in the field, and thus the problem which presented itself at the beginning of this year will never have to be solved again...
