...Cambridge Tribune indulges in a complaint against Harvard athletes for using North Avenue as a running track. "Squads of them," says the Tribune, "frequently monopolize the sidewalk, crowding to one side persons who happens to be in the way as they rush past. Sometimes they select the street, and frighten horses as they run by them, clad in airy gymnasium costume. This use of a principal street as a training ground is getting to be an intolerable nuisance, and should be stopped." Of course, we regret very much that Harvard men should be the cause of an "intolerable nuisance." although...

...once that on neither of those two dates could the Harvard men travel to New Haven: on the twelfth, because contrary to faculty regulations: on the 15th because the Princeton game came on that day and some freshmen were detained by our university eleven. The Yale men, thinking to frighten Mr. Palmer, sent a telegram saying Harvard must come on the 15th or that the game would be given up, as that was the only possible day on which they could play. This was soon followed by a letter, dated Nov. 13, exactly contradictory, which reads: "If you will...
