Inter-collegiate tennis tournament, which was held on the New Haven club grounds last week, was the most successful ever held. The courts were in splendid condition and with the exception of the first day the weather was all that could be desired. The playing of Sears and Shaw, especially in the doubles, was perhaps the best ever seen here in an inter-collegiate tournament. We wish to extend our congratulations both to these gentleman and to the University for the splendid showing that Harvard made in the tournament...
About 500 people took advantage of the splendid weather and saw a good although rather one-sided game of foot-ball. The game was called at 3.30.

The ball was kicked out and Tech brought...

It would be well for our freshmen to bear this in mind and play football, rain or shine, as they will hereafter at New Haven...
...Haven, Oct. 1.-The Yale foot-ball team is at present in a very chaotic condition. The men have not got into training, and almost everybody is more or less under the weather with sore arms, legs and bodies. The candidates for the team, numbering some forty men, have been out to the field for practice every day for a week, but as yet there has been but little real playing. One thing has been established beyond a doubt, and that is that the Yale eleven this year will be inferior in several respects to that of last season...
