...another left the association last Saturday and cancelled her game with Yale; Pennsylvania feels so sore over the recent action that she would probably withdraw from the association if the eligibility of her players was questioned to the extent of official protest; the remaining colleges, Yale and Princeton, seem to have no settled relations with each other. Such a state of affairs is very unsatisfactory to every one who feels that college athletics above all should be free from politics and securely based on frankness and sincerity. Surely this mutual distrust and suspicion is unmanly and unsportsman like and entirely...
...confidence in the team, and we suggest that they impress this fact upon Captain Waters and his men by sending them off today with a series of rousing cheers. With the beginning of this month the time between us and the great contest takes a long jump and we seem very much nearer to it than we did on the last day of October.

Last night the Natural History Society held its 789th monthly meeting, in the society rooms in the old Pudding building. Twenty-four new members were taken on, and generally speaking, the prospects of the society seem to be very bright.

In football they have been a disapointment, but in the matter of rowing they seem to have grasped the situation, and there is a right spirit among them. If they retain their good resolutions and persist in their efforts through the preliminary work, the outlook for a good crew next spring will be excellent. If on the contrary, the men lose their earnestness and drop out because they do not find much fun in it, a gradual...
...feel ourselves right in criticising adversely the work of the freshman eleven. It is an old story-and only the worse for its age. To begin with, the freshmen have little or no discipline in their work and right here is the basis of the other faults. The men seem to feel that it makes no difference how they play so long as they do not actually stand still; attention, and above all implicit obedience to the words of the coachers seem to be almost entirely lacking. The men refuse to play where they are told and there...
