...field. It is all very well for these gentlement to claim that the foul tackle was an accident, or did not happen at all, but it is a poor excuse to attribute the loss of the same to the decision of a referee who is an acklowledged authority on matters pertaining to foot-ball.

While the Harvard eleven retires to the Pudding building in the intermission between the first and second half of a game, the visiting team are allowed to remain out in the field. This is discourteous, to say the least, and the remedy is so simple it ought to be immediately applied. Why should not the visiting team be invited to share what cheer the warmth (?) of the Pudding building will afford...
