...cause of their absence. It is only likely that it was the cause. There has been much talk about Harvard's good prospects this year, but if this kind of business continues athletics will do their best to find a lower level than the one they now occupy. No doubt such a task would be difficult but it is within the range of possibility. Many may say that the non-athletic men don't know about such things and had better use their power of speech on a subject with which they are more conversant. This is, we are convinced...
...classes in elocution meet for the first time. This work has received a new impulse here, owing to the labors of Mr. Hayes, the present instructor.

...less under the weather with sore arms, legs and bodies. The candidates for the team, numbering some forty men, have been out to the field for practice every day for a week, but as yet there has been but little real playing. One thing has been established beyond a doubt, and that is that the Yale eleven this year will be inferior in several respects to that of last season. In the first place two of the best men in the rush line have gone. There seems to be no available material to fill the vacancies. Robinson...
