Continuing our general ransacking we come to the Yale papers, the Record and Courant. We freely confess that the latter is far superior to any other Yale publication and ranks with the first college papers.

Vox populi, vox dei. "The many" have not been deceived. The editor goes on to state, that Yale has done more for foot-ball than any other college in the land. We always thought that Harvard introduced the game; but, perhaps, there has been some mistake. That Yale...
