...classes have a higher percentage than the lower, and the classical side is better than the English. The conclusions can be drawn from a study of the figures; that football success is not incompatible with scholarship; that football is an intellectual game, and not merely a test of physical strength, and that the active scholarship rule is favorable not only to scholarship, but also to football success, particularly in view of the excellent record made by this team on the football field last fall...
...athletic meeting at the B. A. A. this evening promises to be by far the most interesting event of the season in the way of winter sport. The fact that Harvard is entered in two intercollegiate relay races, and will match her strength in other events with some of the best college athletes in the country, will justify a good representation from Cambridge among the spectators.

This very point has come up, however, and has put an end to the negotiations, much to the regret of Yale, although every Yale man may feel that it was the only possible...
Chadwick, the other guard, has represented Yale for four years on the track, and is therefore ineligible to compete again next spring. Graff, who sprained a tendon in the games last year, has not been allowed to do any work since in order that his ankle might regain its strength. He is now as strong as ever, and will be Yale's mainstay in the sprints the coming season...
