Debating at Yale this year is on a more substantial basis than ever before. All the debating organizations in the university have united under one head called the Yale Debating Association.

In eight successive plays he carried the ball to the three yard line, but on the ninth, when weakened by his exertions, he could not make the requisite two yards. He was much more effective in backing up the centre than ever before. Early in the second half he was replaced by Reid, who punted well, and by his own determined spirit enabled the team to make that last brace that almost won the game. Parker took Sawin's place late in the game but did nothing remarkable...
