Losses caused by graduation and the new eligibility rules will seriously interfere with the development of next year's football team. Not only will several of the strongest players who were counted on to start the season, be ineligible, but no help can be had from the incoming Freshman class...

The receipts of books and magazines were greatly augmented by large contributions from the Union, and aggregated about three tons.

...course over which the crews will race on June 28 was staked out today by H. C. Beckwith, inspector of customs, at New London, V. Chappell of Yale, and C. H.

This change will make a turn in the course unavoidable...

The Freshmen then spurted, but could only cut down Springfield's lead to a third of a length at the finish...
