...points upon which the faculty and the undergraduates seem to differ. It is perhaps desirable, as the faculty appear to wish, to lessen the element of competition. But can the faculty do this and at the same time accomplish what is generally accepted as their aim, viz.: promote athletic interests, or perhaps, rather, to save them? Is there not a direct opposition in the two ideas, lower the competitive element, and support the interests of athletics? It has always seemed to me that competition is the very coundation upon which all athletics rest. Any thrust which diminishes competition will diminish...
...this than by referring to the Yale crew of 1883. A more magnificent body of men physically never sat in a shell. But what was the use of this combination of strength, length of reach, and power of endurance, when we find the first essential and greatest requisite absent_viz, skill! These eight men had been trained to row a cramped or chopping stroke, with not one particle of execution. In fact, this crew did not extend from start to finish, but exhausted their strength and frittered away their power, simply in motion and movement which was neither graceful...
...Eliot, of Harvard College, in his recent annual report, makes some statements concerning athletic sports, which we publish on another page, and which should be read and remembered by every student. He is the first man who has plainly and publicly pointed out what keen observers have long known, viz., that students and professors look at athletics from totally different standpoints; that these two views are wholly irreconcilable; that between them is a chasm which affords no tenable middle ground; that the students are unwisely stubborn in support of their own ideas; and that this obstinacy will, sooner or later...
...undersigned, agree to abide by and play under the following amendments to the rules of the American Inter-Collegiate Foot-Ball Association, viz : (1) The referee shall be a graduate of either Yale, Princeton, Columbia or Harvard. (2) Rule 19 shall read : "The referee shall take out time for unnecessary delay, decide disputed points, and shall at his discretion disqualify any player without previous warning, for off-side play, tackling in touch, or violation of rules 28 and 38. In all points not covered by the rules, his decision shall be final." (3) Not more than two disqualified...
...should be deducted. Thus making the minimum $225, and the average $325. It is difficult to see what arrangement could be more reasonable or satisfactory than this. Nor does the present cost differ materially from that of ten years ago. There is only one item which has changed, viz., the price of rooms. In 1873, the highest rent charged in the College buildings was $85, while now the maximum is $175. This, however, is in a measure, offset by the present price on the other extreme, which is $25, as against $30 ten years ago. It should be remembered, also...
