...great object in holding the game on college grounds is to make it the occasion of more pleasant social intercourse than has been possible in the past at Springfield. Of course there is little which can be done for the Yale team itself, but its members will doubtless take the will for the deed, and the 'Varsity management may be relied upon to show them every attention which will not prove burdensome. With those, however, who come up from New Haven to see the game, and to visit their friends, the case is different. Harvard can hardly do enough toward...

...tackle Donald has done as good work as his condition permits. He is heady, reliable, and a decidedly good tackle. Swain, though the lightest candidate, has shown good quality of work throughout the year. He is aggressive, tackles hard and accurately and runs fairly well with the ball. Wheeler is gaining all the time. He puts up a fierce game and would be invaluable but for his tendency to get offside. He also uses his arms too freely in blocking. Mills, who has the capacity of making one of the best football players in college, mars his brilliant work...

Dibblee has done very good work and improved from first to last. His dodging is a feature and he seems safe to catch kicks and hold the ball while running. He is tough and never seems to be injured, the only occasion when he has been taken out being precautionary. He should give a good account of himself Saturday. Parker has dash and speed and hits the line hard but is often blocked by his own interference and is by no means a finished player. Sawin has not been doing his best work of late and seems to have been...

...govern the conduct of gentlemen. We can do nothing to bring to justice a member of the University who succeeds in cornering twenty of the best seats to the Yale game, sells them at the Boston Stock Exchange at a profit of $150, and boasts of what he has done...
