...Harvard-Yale game, the question now seems to be not when and where it shall be played, but whether it is to be played at all. The Yale management insist on holding strictly to the letter of the constitution of the association, which provides that the elevens holding first and second place shall play in N. Y. Thanksgiving day. Yale has not only not offered to play anywhere else,-Cambridge, New Haven or any other place-but insists that the Harvard team must meet the Yale eleven at New York on Thanksgiving or the game will be forfeited to Yale...
Ever since the football teams began practice two weeks ago they have been seriously impeded in their work by the spectators, who insist on crowding into the field. In order to keep the field at all clear, Captain Sears has continually to stop the practice and ask the spectators to stand out of the players'way, and thus, by the thoughtlessness of a few men, valuable time is lost every afternoon. We do not want men to stay from Jarvis; we hope every man who can will show how strong an interest he has in the work of the team...
...hope that "H. H. D." will not think I differ from him in fundamentals. I heartily agree; only whereas he says to the faculty: "You must begin."

Carelessnes like this on the part of any men who know the value of practice for the team, and that the foot-ball field is the place for such practice...
...insist on such evidence against a student as would stand only after passing through the mazy and fitful processes of law courts; if, as was remarked in our own recent trial, you are going to make the faculty not judges but mere jurymen, how in the name of common sense is the conviction of any student to be secured? You say, "take measures that will compel students to testify under penalty of expulsion." But to say nothing of the inquisitorial character of such a proceeding, two very serious difficulties stand in the way which the law escapes, and which...
