Looking at the reasons Yale gives for refusing Harvard's proposition to play three games, one at Cambridge the day before class day, one at New Haven on Yale's commencement day, and a third, in case of a tie, on neutral grounds, we find Yale's reasons are three in number. The first, that it would bring three games within ten days, seems hardly a very urgent one, since only two years ago, it was no great hardship for Yale to play three games within eight days...
