They found that track athletics this year, unless allowed to be contested outside New England, would possibly be vitally injured. The nine would run no such danger. It could meet its strongest rivals in New England, and the greatest interest in the sport kept up. There is, then, no analogy between the cases of the athletic team and the nine; and all attempts to draw one must necessarily prove as utterly feeble as the one in Harper...

After enlarging on the improvements of the new design for more than an hour, Lieut. Cahoon answered many questions put to him about various subjects. A vote of thanks was given...
...them noted athletes in their day, will work for the best interests of the association. They know full well that Harvard must meet Yale in track athletics as in other sports. The athletic committee is influenced very greatly by the recommendation of these advisors; and there is, therefore, no danger, as the college has seemed to believe, that the athletic committee will pass reguations preventing Harvard track athletes from meeting their worthiest rivals in the spring...
