...beaten rivals so much as that of cowards. It is, no doubt, exceedingly mortifying to the wearers of the crimson to have Yale and Princeton defeat our nine and suffer defeat themselves at its hands. Harvard has gained an unenviable reputation in the past for grumbling at the result of athletic contests where she has failed to be victorious and she has strengthened it lately. Her defeats are always due to a prejudiced judge, umpire or referee, or unfair play of opponents. Her shabby treatment of Columbia last summer is in full keeping with the principle which she follows...
Dividing this balance, $12,232.73, by 2669, the number of weeks, gives $4.58, and adding head money, 4 cents, gives $1.62 as the cost of board per week during the month of November. An analysis of this charge of $4.62 gives the following result...
...nothing in it to cause any serious mistrust of the management of the hall in general. The association is certainly fulfilling the purposes of its establishment, and, to speak relatively, giving general satisfaction as far as relates to quality and price, in spite of this revelation.

The mistake certainly should not be the cause of a stampede from...
...rules adopted at the last foot-ball convention in regard to the block game seem likely to answer their purpose exactly. It was plain during the last season's contests that victories would likely be very much the result of chance unless the safety touch was made to enter into the final score. And it naturally followed that this would make the best basis from which to reckon higher scores. A touchdown now equals two, a goal from the field five, and a goal from a touchdown six safeties. No doubt can be entertained concerning the relation between goals from...
...remark that it is not the college which follows blindly whatever sentiment her papers chance to adopt, as the Record chooses to insinuate, but on the contrary, the papers represent, and that, too, most adequately the popular opinion of the college. The editorial goes on to state: "The result was a bitter disappointment, of course," alluding to Harvard, "but does that justify the conduct of their men among the spectators, hissing every fine play made by the Yale team?" We owe thanks to the Record for furnishing us with this truly Yaleistic idea of "fine playing." It is quits...
