Fletcher has a tendency to pick up the ball instead of dropping on it. He does not pass hard enough, and does not use his head in his own running. He keeps his eyes open, however, and watches his chances well. Porter has shown marked improvement in the last week, but he still fumbles badly. He likes to run when he ought to kick; and he never puts...

...said, that the cup was given as a perpetual challenge, and was not intended to become the property of any one college, except on the dissolution of the inter-collegiate league. He further stated that the executive committee of the league had no right to pass rules that it should be given to any college. And under the existing circumstances he recommended that a new cup should be awarded to Harvard, and the old one be kept as the perpetual challenge trophy. This question will be brought up at the next convention. The success as well as the capital condition...
