While the facts as published are true, the article, as a whole, is is apt to be misleading as to the reasonableness of Yale's position, because the reasons given in the meeting for our refusal to agree to Harvard's propositions are not stated. Our proposition was to play three games, one at Cambridge on June 23d, one on New Haven on June 28th, and a third to take place on neutral...
