...particular, to compete with professionals. The general force of "X's" argument must be admitted, but when he declares that our chief purpose in wishing to play professionals is to learn a few more "tricks" he puts the matter in a wholly false light. We do not want to win the championship by tricks, if by "tricks" "X" means anything underhanded or unfair. All the sentiment of the University is against it. As "X" declares, we already know the essentially fine points of the game. What we should hope and expect to receive at the hands of professionals would...
...Globe of yesterday morning there appeared the usual predictions as to the winner of the Mott Haven cup. In the estimation of the writer of that article Harvard is sure to win, while Yale has no chance at all. Now we have sufficient faith in the officers of the H. A.

Columbia has nearly the same tug-of-war team that she had last year, but several of the other colleges have much better teams than formerly. In the 220-yard's hurdle race the first place will probably fall to Mapes, of Columbia, but since the event...
...class races, the H. A. A. games, the base-ball and lacrosse championship games, and finally Class-day and the New London races crowd hard upon each other. Our outlook in athletics in good but not nearly as good as it should be. We must work if we would win. The University at large must show its interest in the work of the teams, by attending the practice games, and thus encouraging the men to do their very best for the honor of Harvard...
