...next charge in support of the statement "that the Harvard Management have offered pecuniary assistance to players" is that offers of money were made to Mr. Ammerman of the University of Pennsylvania. In proof of this the "evidence" offers an extract from a letter of Mr. Ammerman, published in the Philadelphia Press on Nov. 26, 1889, as follows...
...find it difficult to weigh the value of Mr. Ammerman's statement, inasmuch as he declines to give any additional information. A member of this Committee, on seeing the original report of this transaction in the New York Herald of Nov. 16, wrote to Mr. Ammerman requesting further explanation.

I can go still further and say that no money was paid to any of the gentlemen except upon their presentation of vouchers...
...supplement issued today, to which each of our subscribers is entitled, we publish in fall the statement which the Athletic committee has been preparing during the last three or four weeks. The report itself needs no explanation. It presents a full and can did reply to the manifesto which Princeton made public a few weeks ago, and is, as far as we can see, a complete vindication of Harvard's policy thus far this year. The completenss of the evidence in Harvard's favor will prove a surprise even to those who have been all along the most sanguine. Practically...
