...claim that the Committee offer almost no proof at all to support the second premise, viz., that the objectionable features of the game can not be removed by any revision of the rules by the Intercollegiate Association. This last statement is almost a pure assumption on the Committee's part. The only arguments they offer in support of their belief is that the changes adopted last year did not take away all objectionable features of the game. The Committee must grant that these changes did take away or lessen some objectionable features; they must also grant, therefore, that further changes...
...down to New Haven on Friday. Meanshile the Yale men had decided, without just, cause to give up the game. We should suppose that mere politeness would have led them to notify our team; but nothing of the sort was done. By an accident this remarkable freak on the part of Yale was learned by a Harvard man in New York, and a telegram from him saved our eleven a useless trip to New Haven.

It was an error of judgment on the part of the captain to refuse to play with a team on which there were three...
...Haven. Now how in the world, we could play before Thanksgiving, we should like to have somebody show us. Still Yale claims that they gave us every chance to play, and it was no fault of theirs if there was no game. But now comes the funny part. On receipt of our certificate those delightfully vacillating freshmen again assembled and voted to play on the 29th...
