...plans for the improvement of the eleven. A complete and thorough reorganization of the team should be made. The college we have heard many persons say, is by no means satisfied at the personnel of the eleven. This remark applies especially to the rush line. Here is the greatest fault of the team. Let new men be tried in some of the places. If these do not tend to improve the team then it will not be the fault of the management if our eleven is defeated; it will be the fault of the college for not furnishing better material...
...Yale Courant. in defending Yale against the attacks of the "Nassau Misc" which finds fault with the excessive "sandiness" of the Yale foot ball game, delivers itself of the following: "Sand is, no doubt, disagreeable to certain individuals, but it is entirely preferable to the concoction of mud, cowardice and sour grapes which the organs of Princeton and Harvard, with their New York satellites, make a point of aiming at Yale after every Thanksgiving game...
...freshmen played a strong game, kicking and tackling well. They fumbled the ball, however, too much, and the rushers had a tendency to drop the ball when tackled.

But unreason-fault-finding merely spoils the waiters and sets every one on edge...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :-I have read with interest your editorial of this morning (Tuesday), on the subject of the tennis courts. The matter is one of the highest interest to a large, but I fear, somewhat decreasing number. But the fault with our system is chiefly in the courts and their position, and not in the present management of the association; for I know by experience in other places that the latter is capable of giving every satisfaction. But how can the game receive the attention it deserves while the only place in which to play it is Jarvis Field...
