...that Columbia acted in an unjustifiable manner and sought unfair advantages, it was not for Harvard to take the law into her own hands and go out of training and leave New London before the day mutually agreed upon arrived. (5.) Whether the motives of Harvard were fear of defeat (which is not believed) or an utter indifference to the Columbia race, caused by the winning of the Yale race, in either case her leaving New London was a breach of duty to the college and a breach of courtesy to Columbia. This position is one outside the disputes between...
...system of handicapping, or, more properly, of barring out, which the officers of the Harvard Athletic Association propose to adopt in a limited number of events in the coming fall athletic meeting, offers exceptional inducements for men desiring to compete yet fearing the overwhelming odds of defeat, to enter themselves for these events.

The game was witnessed by one of the largest audiences that ever assembled on Jarvis, and the enthusiasm...
...into the good graces of the students. Some of the lacrosse men themselves were glad enough to have their association abolished, for they perfectly understood the cause of so doing, and wished to rid the association of an obnoxious element which in a measure was responsible for the chronic defeat met with everywhere. No objection whatever is offered to their reorganization in the fall, and the chances are that if the obnoxious element is kept out, and the right men obtain control, lacrosse will once more be set on its booming career, and may after all turn out a credit...
