...accordance with the old custom, the University Foot-Ball team elected their captain for next year immediately after the Thanksgiving Day game last Thursday. The choice they made is a matter for congratulation to the university and must be flattering to the man himself in its reported unanimity. Mr. Holden well deserves the honor thus placed upon him, and we feel assured that he will carry out the duties of the position in an effective manner. Ever since he entered college Mr. Holden has taken an active interest in foot-ball and has shown himself to be well versed...
...examined in the course of the convention and the following gentlemen acted as arbitrators: Messrs. Appleton and Brooks of Harvard, Stevens of Wesleyan, Posey and Young of the University of Pennsylvania.

The circumstances of the Harvard-Yale game were extra-ordinarily favorable for high scoring and a larger score was made than under any other circumstances would have been possible. Thus, it may be assumed that the Princeton...
...position is, that, if we yield to Yale again this year, we may as well be prepared to yield to her for all time to come, which we have no notion of doing. The conditions on which we insist this year have been copied with minuteness, and as a matter of principle, from the conditions which Yale saw fit to force on us last year; after this year, if Yale wishes to do so, the arrangements between the two colleges will be a matter for mutual concession, but Yale must first make good her unfair extortions of last year...
