...freshman, has just come from the high school and so neither is he a stranger on the Yale field. He played in place of Heffelfinger on Thursday and is reported as having shown great strength though much clumsiness. The other vacancy in the line, right tackle, is being striven for by Mills, Cochran and Winter. Mills played some last year but the other two men are quite new. Cochran while not so good a player as either Mills or Winter is noted for his great coolness and "sand" so that he may yet develop...
Many Alumni have together subscribed $500 for the purchase of a cup to be striven for every year in track contests.

Therefore they have arranged a game with a team from the University of Pennsylvania, probably the first amateur cricket eleven in the country. This game is to take place on Holmes Field, a fact which ought...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- The rule of the faculty that precludes a student from obtaining a degree with distinction, who has at any time in his course received a D, is a law both unjust and impolitic. Its injustice lies in the fact that a man may have striven sincerely for three years to graduate with a cum laude and then perchance failed on some knotty half course through a natural inability to cope with his subject. Some men's minds are so constituted that they find it all but impossible to grasp certain lines of study, and after long...
