...occupied since the football league was organized. What cause, then, she has for regret we cannot see. The Advocate is wrong in saying that Harvard has made a mistake in withdrawing, but that having made this mistake she must maintain her position. If we were really in fault it would clearly be our duty to retract regardless of consequences. But, save in the inopportune appointment of the committee to confer with Yale-a matter of comparative unimportance-we have not been in fault. The only reason for our maintaining our withdrawal from the league is because we believe...
...gaining and imparting knowledge. Is it not just possible that among this body of men of matured judgement there may be some who, as a result of years of quiet observation, are able to tell us, and tell us truly, wherein our athletic system and methods are at fault? The supposition certainly seems a plausible one. The CRIMSON cannot believe that these men are dead to Harvard's athletic interests; on the contrary, we believe that they are thoroughly alive to the success of her teams. Their presence at the games is proof of that. It stands to reason, then...
...Fault is found with Princeton for playing Ames because he has played in some base ball games for money, and therefore comes under the term professional. Affidavits have been shown to prove this, and a facsimile of a letter of Ames's tending in the same direction.

...play, and Ames resound and increase with Princeton's score, till at the close Princeton is pronounced a brute, a knave, a liar. The Princeton players were, heavier men and older men than Harvard and could stand a rough game of give-and-take longer. Was this Princeton's fault? Then, too, there is no dispute that they played a better game. But the cry of brutes-based on Donnelly's and general rough play; knave-based on the calling to Princeton of other than regular students; and of liar-based on the conduct of playing Ames-goes...
...tear up their tickets for Springfield because of Saturday's defeat. Just because of that defeat, we ought to send an immense Harvard crowd to Springfield. We must show out team that we have perfect confidence in their ability to win. As the CRIMSON pointed out on Monday, the fault was not in the players, but in the fact that they were not prepared for two hours' work instead of one. But above all, they must feel from first to last that Harvard is unwavering in their support. It is just as much our duty to cheer the team when...
