...hoped, however, that some of the more flagrant abuses of the old system will be eradicated when intercollegiate contests are resumed. The whole array of paid coaches, trainers, scouts, and other attendants ought to be cut down considerably and the number of games which involve travelling might well be reduced. These things have made college athletics unduly expensive in the past and have given all college sport the taint of semi-professionalism. If the system is not to be reformed, it should at least be improved. Boston Herald...
...former years, lacks a good string of second team men. In general yale's defence has been more than above the average but her offence, though often brilliant, is at times ragged. . . . The one weak spot on the Yale line seems to be at tackle. . . . One flagrant weakness has been the weak defence and protection given the kicker. In every game this year Yale has had a kick blocked."

...notice which appeared in Monday's CRIMSON, stating that only "H" men should be allowed to vote for the captain of the track team is not only exceedingly ill-timed--as the election takes place tomorrow--but also a flagrant violation of a right which H. A. A. men have exercised in the past. Dean Briggs, when consulted, gave a copy of the rules under which the track elections are held and also an opinion over his signature that the H. A. A. men could legally vote under the rules of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports...
