...some delays caused by Yale. This year each college has a graduate committee, to aid in preserving harmony. These committees have not yet done their work of compiling rules; when this is done a formal acceptance will be sent under the conditions of the rules. So do not fear, dear Yale, that you will have no competitor next June...
...having the enterprise in charge has abandoned it in order to devote all his energies to foot-ball. Everything has been given up to that glorious sport - everything from chapel to poker. It would certainly be more lucrative to us if we should abandon everything but poker. I sadly fear that is is our last resource, and I have no hesitation in saying, that should an intercollegiate poker association be formed my alma mater would not be found in the rear ranks. Harvard, Yale and little Rutgers would find it less easy to "rake in a jack-pot," than...

Princeton has chiefly to fear a drop-kick from the field. This criticism is, of course, based solely on the Rutgers game, in which, we understand, Yale played with several substitutes. - [Princetonian...
