...member of the Phi Beta Kappa, rowed on the University crew, and played on the rush-line of the University football team. In 1890, as a student in the Law School, at that time eligible for athletics, Mr. Trafford played on the first Harvard eleven to defeat Yale in the modern game of football...
...University hockey team went down to a 3 to 1 defeat before the B. A. A. seven in the first game of the season Saturday evening. The playing of both teams was decidedly listless; accurate passing, team-work and the other ear-marks of good hockey were not in evidence save at rare intervals.

Its season, with three tie games and two defeats, has of course been too pitifully unsuccessful for the people to call "satisfactory." In points, the team lost to Harvard by a considerable margin. Of losing teams, gratitude, often frigid, is the usual consolation. But in Captain Ketcham's eleven every man of Yale takes just and exultant pride. Its struggle from impotence against Colgate to excellence against Princeton has never been surpassed by any Yale team. Its playing against perhaps...
