...attendance at the 'varsity game will be seriously affected. The game with Wesleyan is the most important one that will be played in Cambridge this year, and every man in the University ought to attend it. It is, therefore, distinctly a short-sighted policy for the class captains to insist upon playing off the tie game next Tuesday. It is urged that if the game is played Wednesday it will be impossible to finish the class series next week. In this case it seems to us a comparatively unimportant matter whether the class series be finished on Friday of next...

We naturally rebel at being governed here by the prescriptions of the Harvard Athletic Committee. We might just as consistently demand that all games be played within the limits of the Middle States...
...game will be played at Springfield. Moreover, the dual league scheme was abandoned last year partly because of the New England clause. Harvard is now bound to maintain this position, at all events for this fall at least. If there is to be a game, Harvard will have to insist that it be played in New England...
