The third development was the definite statement by the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports at its meeting of October 18 that the Yale game alone shall be considered a permanent fixture on the football schedule. . .

What, for example, could be sweeter, gentler, more Lamblike than the intimation of The Brown Jug, Brown University's jester, that the Holy Cross footballers...
