...most astonishing editorial on the subject. The News claims that as so many concessions have been made to Harvard in regard to the freshman foot-ball games during the last three years, that the concession in regard to the first freshman ball-game should be made to Yale. In support of the supposed concessions made to Harvard's foot-ball teams, the News prints a series of charges which, if true, are most damaging to Harvard. As these charges to us are incredible, we have requested the managers of '85, '86 and '87 foot-ball teams to reply to them...
...first game played in New Haven on the 24th of May or not at all. Upon unanimous agreement it was resolved to have Mr. Goodwin's views communicated to the Harvard nine." We do not doubt that Mr. Goodwin was entirely right in stating that the whole college would support the freshman in this demand, or in anything else the freshmen might determine upon, although the remarks of the Courant hardly point that way. But it is this blind support that Yale always gives all her organizations, without regard to the justice of their position, that we complain...
...trouble in arranging the game with Yale. As Yale desired either to play the game at New Haven or New York. Our eleven objected to playing in either place, as they did not think it just that they should play in New York where they would receive but little support from their class on account of the distance from Boston. Yale, however, would have had a great advantage on account of the short distance from New Haven. I then stated that we would play at Springfield, which place is generally selected as neutral ground. I cannot see why the share...
Today the freshman nine plays its first game with a school nine of acknowledged reputation. The time when the train leaves Boston gives all the freshmen a chance to go to Quincy and support their nine in a hearty manner. The trip is a short and inexpensive one, and a large number should accompany the nine on this first trip away from Cambridge. The '87 men are working well under the disadvantage of having no separate field, for their practice and this work deserves recognition. The nine at Adams Academy is reported to be a good one, so that...
...close in goal, but should be a little more careful not to miss easy "swipes." Noyes dodges and runs well, and throws a hard line shot. His chief fault is "Monkeying with the ball" before picking it up. The fielders are playing rather a loose game and do not support each other enough. Roundy is effective in covering his man, but does not start quickly for the ball, and when he gets it, either runs too long, or throws it without looking to see whom to pass it to. Churchill is a new man, and as such is doing well...
