...Yale, may it not be in order to suggest to our "friend, the enemy" that it is time to give up the concerted efforts to "rattle" our players? Whenever Harvard had the ball on the Yale side of the field during the recent game in the Stadium, the Yale crowd set up a great noise, in order to drown, if possible, the signals given to the Harvard team. So also, whenever Brickley prepared to make a drop or place kick, the Yale "rooters" burst forth in shouts and cat-calls in their effort to "rattle...
...first game between Harvard and Yale was played at Hamilton Park, New Haven, on November 13, 1875 and was won by Harvard by four goals to none. About 150 Harvard students journeyed from Cambridge to New Haven to witness the contest, and were commented on as "the biggest crowd from Boston ever seen in New Haven." Mr. Parke H. Davis in his book on football gives a very interesting account of the game, of which a few excerpts are printed...
Little attention was paid this contest by the general public, mention of it being found in only one Boston paper, and that confined to a scant ten lines announcing the game and ending with this single sentence of general criticism of the affair.

...team scrimmaged for 30 minutes against the substitutes and showed up well. Guernsey played fullback during the scrimmage, but Dunn is still first choice for the Harvard game. Wilson and Carter ran through signal practice with the university team, but were not in the regular scrimmages. A large crowd was at the field to cheer the final practice. As mass meeting will be held tonight at which Captain Ketcham, Head Coach Jones, F. J. Daly '11, and D. M. Bomeisler '13 will speak. Tomorrow the undergraduates will parade to the station to give the team a hearty sendoff...
Extra stands to provide for the large crowd at the Dartmouth and Harvard games are now in process of construction at Princeton. The maximum seating capacity for the Harvard game will be 26,890, just 3000 less than that of the Yale game last year. The North stand, which seats 3492 persons, will not be used unless it is found absolutely necessary. The Harvard constituents will all be given seats in the West stand. Two score boards will be in position for the Harvard game, one on the North stand, and the usual one on the South stand...
