...anxious to change the date of the Harvard Yale football game from the Saturday before to the Saturday after Thanks giving. This attempt is said to be in lieu of the recent suggestion to play the game on Thanksgiving Day, which the Yale authorities rightly frowned upon.

This argument has some truth in it, but it is fair to suppose that a man will in the end fall quite involuntarily into the use of his special parlor accomplishment...
...Yale team has written the following article for the Yale News: "I believe that it would be a good thing to make hockey a major sport at Yale, providing, however, that the new artificial ice-rink which is planned will be completed. This is only one reason, however; the other is the influence of Harvard's making it a major sport last year. Their action drew attention to the importance of the sport, and is a step in the direction of its becoming a major at Yale...
