...rain that fell during the afternoon had no perceptible effect upon the size of the audience at the concert in the evening. The Odeon was crowded to its utmost capacity by people who found little fault with the programme.

Yale has refused to accept any proposition made by our management in regard to the regular championship game, insisting that Harvard should play on the polo grounds on Thanksgiving day, even though she knew that that was impossible through no fault of our own. She has therefore forced us to forfeit the championship game. In doing this she has willfully overlooked the assurance given by Captain Beecher and Mr. Gill of last year's team...
