...have not seen the advantages reaped which were predicted by the action of the faculty in forbidding the base-ball men to practice with professional teams, and there is little indicatian that we ever shall see them. Under the present prohibition, we lose the manifest good which would result from contesting with our superiors, and gain nothing in return. We defeat the duffers at Marblehead twenty runs to two, and find in our games with Yale that there is danger of a similar score-only reversed.

...fail to develop in the athlete to a marked degree the qualities of courage, perseverance, loyalty, and a high sense of honor." This is a sentiment which must commend itself to all earnest, thinking men.

Many friends of these contests in both universities have been hoping for a time when such a result could be properly accomplished, without exposing one or the other college to the charge of escaping from a superior. Two years ago a race was lost at New London to Columbia. The defeat was retrieved last year. Since the old fifteen-men foot-ball was abandoned, in which Harvard had been...
