Such a state of affairs is greatly to be deplored and needs but to be brought clearly before the minds of Harvard students in order that its recurrence may be prevented. It will be urged, no doubt, that our nine receives the same treatment, and that every other nine is in the same position, when defeated on a field away from home. But is this any argument why this nuisance should not be done away with...
