...showed that a slight decrease in the tariff would increase the revenue while free trade would produce a business panic. The general argument of the negative was in favor of a decrease of the tariff. Mr. Russell Duane, '88, supported Mr. Norton very ably, advocating the free introduction of raw materials and told how in the case of wool a protective tariff established in 1867 had reduced the amount produced yearly by one-half...
...freshmen come out and practice, and what is the result? A pitcher has been found that promises to be superior to Stagg. Yale does not need a pitcher, Harvard does, but Harvard is waiting for the pitcher to come all developed. Yale is bringing out the raw material and developing it. In the Mott Haven team, Yale has been bringing out the strength of the freshman class and has already some good athletes who promise to help bring the cup if Harvard does not arise and work. Nothing comes without work, so either the various teams must commence to practice...
...gentleman's sport should be so wantonly overlooked here. Few men probably realize what the cricket eleven has done, or what it might do, if it received its share of support from the students. Beginning yearly with a few good cricketers the eleven is filled up with raw men who practice faithfully by themselves unnoticed and disregarded, and by the time the season is well begun, we have at least a fair cricket team, but with hardly an extra man for a substitute. Last spring, starting under just such conditions, the eleven by hard work, succeeded in winning every match...
...naked eye yesterday, but undoubtedly some will overcome their coyness and appear in the field today. There must be some men in so large a class as the freshman class is said to be, who know how to play foot-ball; and there certainly is plenty of raw material which a little practice will develop. Some of the vacancies left by the outgoing class last year must be filled by men from Ninety one. It is to be hoped, therefore, that many freshmen will take courage to-day and come on the field whether they know the game...
...Whether Harvard will outrow Yale is another matter. Yale has the advantage this year of an accomplished coach, Perry Bolton. They are a set of large, beefy men, in superb condition, and are pulling about ten miles a day. They are raw and ragged in their work in the boat. Their raggedness, however, is so much more noticeable than Harvard's that I have based my opinion as to Harvard's probable chances upon it. A new coxswain goes in the Yale boat this year. Thompson, a little freshman weighing less than 100 pounds, will take the seat in which...
