...Yale, its solution will have considerable weight. And another report of general interest will be that of Mr. Geer, on "The Longevity of Athletes". This has always been a cause for dispute between those who believe that athletes build up their bodies and live longer than the ordinary mortal and those who deal in "athletic hearts" and high blood pressure.

The men on the field are the same met day after day in the Yard, and who appear so much like the other men that no one but a sporting editor could tell the difference. It seems ridiculous to believe that of a score of undergraduates sitting in Sever one should be selected as infallible. Yet it is upon just such as absurdity that the current notion of "Big Three impregnability" is based, and that the shame of such a team in defeat rests...
