...wear the blue from our experience in foot-ball. We trust that the report which is now current, that Yale will probably in any event be prohibited for playing ball next year, is without foundation. If Yale should no longer be allowed to enter the contest, there is little doubt that much of the interest which now attends the games would be wanting.

We can never tell when we enter whether at that moment some one will not be coming out and so slam the door in our face. This is especially grievous, as the two steps in front of the door give an impetus to the push which the goer-out gives to the door, preparatory to jumping down these steps, and often cause the goer...
