...Yale, the famous half-back of this season and one of the prominent players of Yale's team. It seems that he caught a severe cold on Thanksgiving Day at Princeton and has lain unconscious ever since at the point of death.

It is a very sad ending to the pleasant and invigorating sport of the fall. Death seems especially sad and shocking where its cause lies in some sport that...
