...Yale-Princeton debate occurs here on Friday night of this week. This promises to be an interesting contest, for the speakers on both sides have all had experience in debating, and Princeton's especially, are all three noted prize winners in Whig and Clio Halls, besides being prominent in other spheres of activity. However, they are all undergraduates and because of this fact it is though that Yale's representatives one of whom is a Law School man and another a theologian, will be superior. However, Princeton's record in debating in the past has been her pride and every...
There is a very strong probability that Yale will send a crew to England next year to compete with the winner of the Oxford-Cambridge contest. The matter has been long talked over; but it will be finally settled within the next six weeks. Yale feels that this is a most favorable year to send the crew.

Undergraduates have never before attended this game in such numbers; in fact, in this respect at least, it almost equalled the Springfield games...
Saturday's football game was one in which every Harvard man has a right to take pride. It was a first rate contest from beginning to end, won fairly and squarely by Pennsylvania, lost pluckily and honorably by Harvard. Certainly, however disappointed we may be that the final score was against us, we can feel that there was a decided victory for good clean sport, a victory in which Harvard shared not less than Pennsylvania and upon which both can look with equal satisfaction...
