Wrestling is especially valuable for candidates for line positions on the football team, and the football coaches are strongly in favor of it as a means of making men more active and of teaching them to handle themselves. Members of this year's Freshman football team would derive special benefit from...
...present time the chances of victory must be acknowledged to favor the Blue to a very slight degree, for the Yale team is an experienced set of players who have had little cause to worry from injuries and among whom is one of the best drop-kickers in the present-day game.
