Since the defeat of the freshman nine at New Haven the management has been making an effort to arrange another game with the Yale freshmen, hoping in this final test that the nine might retrieve its former misfortune, It declared itself ready to assume all the necessary expense, etc. The Yale men, however, refuse to make arrangements for another game on any considerations whatever...
...find that it is seven years since I first took the charge of the morning service here-after the resignation of our friend Dr. Andrew Peabody. The service has interested me from the first, as well it might.

...immediately called his men off the field and refused to play. It would seem as though a man who has passed four years at college would be sensible enough to control his temper and not give way to such an exhibition of childish behavior. By such actions, one might be led to believe that class games were not intended merely as a means of furnishing exercise and recreation to the players and pleasure to the spectators, but that consequences more momentous than inter-collegiate contests depended upon their results. Besides, it is absurd to think that no undergraduate...
