Whether with justice or not, "Yale enthusiasm" has been largely attributed to her society system. This fact will prove a serious stumbling-block in the part of the reformer. Of the merits of this particular case, however, we know nothing, although believing that, in general, college societies are productive of more good than evil. That they could be made productive of still more good in the case of every college, we do not doubt for an instant...
...Yale News discourses as follows on "our heavy team." Now as the time draws near for the inter-collegiate foot-ball games, it may be interesting to the college to know the probable team and their weights. This year the team is unusually heavy, the aggregate weight of the whole team is 2.258 lbs. The average of the thirteen men is 173.6 lbs. and the average of the rush line is 185 lbs.

Before that time, however, curve pitching was practiced in professional games, and, though its nature was not much understood, everybody seemed to know that a peculiar kind of ball could be delivered, and that Mathews, the present "curver" for the Athletics, was the man who was doing it. Arthur Cummings, who played in the Mutuals of Brocklyn in 1872, and in the Stars of Brooklyn in the years proceeding, also was known to pitch a deceptive ball, but as he quit playing professionally about 1874 his work was gradually forgotten and Matthews given all the credit for the innovation...
