...thing more. The Yale News, the Yale captain, and the Yale management seem to be of the opinion that "the Harvard faculty, if the facts of the case were laid before them in the right light, would withdraw their objection." Once for all, let us state that the Harvard faculty has nothing to do with the matter; full powers have been given to the athletic committee, and their decision is irrevocable.

...decided improvement over last year. Riggs, a new man this year, has been filling his place the past few days and is doing well. Channing, half-back, received a temporary injury in practice this week, but will probably be able to resume play in a few days. It would seem that the team considered individually could scarcely be improved upon, but there is notice-able a decided lack of team work which may prove fatal.

Despite the efforts made to form a freshman banjo club, through lack of enthusiasm the plan has proved unsuccessful. The freshmen, in their exclusiveness, do not seem to wish to mingle with classmates outside their own clique. Come...
