...college athletics is more and more towards the calculating, efficient ideal of modern business, and away from the recreative standard of true sport for sport's sake. The adoption of a progressive suggestion may mean a certain amount of sacrifice, but it is well worth while when the step tends towards better sportsmanship...
...Fritz Pollard, a lithe, dusky, six-foot half back, displayed the cleverest all-around backfield success attained on Yale Field this season. In end running, forward passing, in executing a bewildering criss-cross and delayed pass run, which was Brown's trump card, in running back punts, in side stepping and dodging Yale tackles in a broken field, Pollard gave a peerless performance. His head line exhibition brought the crowd of 25,000 spectators up with a roar in the opening minutes of the final period. Catching a punt hoisted aloft to midfield by the toe of Harry Legore, Pollard...

Men of Cambridge, we are interested...

Supposing also that Princeton and Harvard joined with Yale in their radical step? The effects would be rather far reaching. Primarily we would see immense amphitheaters representing an enormous investment--$500,000 in the case of the Yale Bowl--standing as valueless relics. We would see the abrupt cessation of the income, with the equally immediate collapse of various non-productive' sports to the support of which this annual increment has been devoted...
