...highly objectionable. The second was the measure which the faculty was striving to bring about. To effect this purpose a meeting of delegates from college faculties had recently been held in New York. A committee from that assembly would meet today when it was expected that, without doubt, all the colleges, with the possible exception of Yale, whose purpose no man could fathom, would unite in an agreement to do away with both employing professionals as trainers and playing with them in games...

...recent item to the effect that Captain Perkins, of the University crew, was about to organize an auxiliary crew in order to accept the challenge of the University of Pennsylvania again brings up the subject of forming auxiliary teams. There can be no doubt that it would be greatly to the advantage of all the teams to have these auxiliary teams to pick from; and the advantage would be in several ways, it would be an inducement to more men to try for a place on the teams as they would have some hope of playing in matches with outside...
