...candidates for the foot ball team met yesterday afternoon on Jarvis Field for the first time. Between ninety and one hundred men presented themselves to Captain Cumnock as candidates, and were put to work immediately with as much system as possible on the first day. They were divided into squads according to the positions for which they are trying, and went through an hour and a half of light work under the supervision of Captain Cumnock and the coaches. The men are all stiff and awkward, naturally, but there seems to be an abundance of good foot ball material among...

...York alumni. We had thought that Harvard's position had been so clearly and firmly stated that no such suggestion could again be offered by a Harvard graduate. Our correspondent urges as a reason for conceding to Yale an annual football game in New York, that Yale "has met us, at least half way," by offering to the eligibility of special students. We cannot look upon this as a concession by Yale. Harvard's original proposal was to allow special students to play and to have half the football games in Cambridge. There can be no yielding on these points...
