...question, yet what possible difference it can make to Yale whether they play in New York on Thanksgiving or four or five days earlier than that, no one, except themselves, is able to see.

A sport in itself so full of skill, physical training and excitement ought not to be a matter of so little concern to the students. Of all of the different athletic games, it surely is the one in which the least general...
