When Captain King proposed another person he would not mention as a substitute any of the three from whom he had originally agreed to choose, and for this reason also, Captain Frothingham claimed a right to persist in refusing to grant a change.

Consequently we have had for some years the unsatisfactory custom of only two freshmen games with Yale, whether the series has resulted in a tie or not. This is likely...
