...such action, the college at large would show renewed interest in rowing and that increased subscriptions would flow in to cover the necessarily increased expenses of the club. Of course there may be objections to such a scheme, but if Yale can carry on such a system, it would seem strange that it could not flourish here, where we have more material and better accommodations for winter work. Even if the formation of a second eight be thought impracticable, the selection of a university "four" from the unsuccessful candidates for the university would still be possible and have almost...
...accounts of the Thanksgiving game and the freshman game in the News of Monday seems to be a revival of the old-time Yale characteristics, sensationalism and unfairness. A year ago we called attention to remarkable effusion which the News reporter, inspired almost to dizziness by this sensationalism, had given to an awe-stricken public. Since then there has been no marked cropping out of this inspiration until now, when again we read of the "heavenly color" which appeared to the coaches. But this is not so noticeable; it is simply silly. What does exhibit the real Yale spirit...
...following account of the Yale-Princeton game is taken from the Sportsman, and is interesting as presenting a different version of the reported "slugging match" in which a Princetonian was figured as the aggressor.

Most of these were college boys, and could be easily distinguished by their badges of blue, black and orange, crimson...

For while there is often so little difference between a player and a substitute that a team would be willing to lose the one and bring in the other in order to gain some desirable point, on the other hand, a team would under no circumstances be willing to lose...
...contrasts rather unfavorably with that of last year. The new cover is different from those that the book has previously been bound in, and if no other edition is to be published, as we understand, it will prevent any person from keeping a uniform set. This seems unfortunate, especially since the new cover seems to be much inferior to the old in every way. Now that the publication has passed into the hands of the college, we notice one gratifying improvement, that the advertisements which used to mar the back part of the book have been kept out altogether. This...
