...CRIMSON is printing this morning communications from the captain and manager of next year's basketball team in defence of basketball as an intercollegiate sport. Their arguments for the game are well worth consideration, but we do not believe that they are conclusive...
...would undoubtedly be a good thing to improve the game itself, but as conditions are at present we doubt if this improvement would increase the popularity of the sport to any substantial degree. The writer of the second communication claims that if the Committee abolishes basketball as an intercollegiate sport, it should be consistent and abolish it entirely. We can not agree with this point of view. If there are men who wish to play the game they should certainly have an opportunity to do so, but there ought not to be a team representing the University in a sport...
...Universities on the other will be played tomorrow from Alexander Hall, Princeton. The American team will begin play tomorrow at 10 o'clock, which, on account of the difference in time between this country and England, makes the English team begin at 3 P.M. Each man will play one game at the rate of 25 moves an hour. The following men will constitute the American team: first board--L. J. Wolff, Columbia; second board--W.H. Hughes, Pennsylvania; third board--N. T. Whitaker, Pennsylvania; fourth board--L.W. Stephens, Princeton; fifth board--H. Blumberg, Columbia; sixth board--W. W. Parshley, Harvard...

Carlisle, Annapolis and Springfield Training School have been dropped, and West Point and Cornell added. The West Point game will necessitate the only absence form Cambridge. Harvard played West Point last in 1906 and won, 5 to 0. Cornell appeared last on the schedule in 1897, when the University team won, 24 to 0. The schedule for next fall subject to the approval of the Athletic Committee is as follows...
Another important question is that of withdrawing basketball from the list of University sports. Many feel that the interest at Harvard is not great enough to make the continuance of the game worth while, but those who enjoy playing will probably resent the idea of losing this opportunity to represent Harvard in athletic competition. These questions are undoubtedly worth serious consideration, and we believe that the Athletic Committee might possibly be influenced by hearing representative undergraduate opinions...
