...worked against Yale in favor of Harvard, when, as every body knows, it was for Princeton's advantage to have Yale win, it seems that insult has been added to injury. Not content, however, to let matters rest here, the Yale News felt itself called upon to uphold the tone of its college by directly insulting the captain of our team, covertly charging him with connivance with Princeton to cheat Yale. What grounds the News had for making so serious a charge, we have no means of knowing. Probably, however, they claim the right to gratuitously insult, as their players...
...respects any of the suggestions in the matter previously advanced by any of the original advocates of the scheme. The suggestions it makes are certainly novel, but well worthy of consideration. The objects of the association, it says, it understands would be as follows: "First, the elevation of the tone of college journalism, not only by the mental friction among the magazines and papers enlisted in the association from the first, but by the stimulus to all others implied in the fact that subsequent admission to its ranks will depend only upon literary merit.

The only method of doing this is the extreme one of refusing to play Yale hereafter. Now that the college faculty has taken such pains to eradicate all professionalism from college...
...eleven has now played its last practice game of the season, and is in the best condition for the great contest tomorrow. Yale will send up a team which is considered the best she has had for years, and which she backs enthusiastically and confidently. The general tone of the Yale papers for the month past shows that the college at large is quite sure of beating Harvard. Our team has been working steadily and quietly, and in the Princeton game last Saturday showed wonderful strength. If they play as well tomorrow we are sure the college can feel proud...
