MORE ASSOCIATION GAMES AT FOOT BALL.-Now that there are only three colleges in the Association, the question of having more than one game with each seems again worth consideration. There really seems no overpowering reason why there should only be a single game with each of our rivals. Even if there were four colleges in the Association, as there may be next year, this would only require each to play six games. As it is little games are plenty and big games few.-[Princetonian...
...also good. Likewise their ability to tackle and rush as well as to kick well was noticeable. Harvard tackled badly. This was the chief fault and to it the size of Prince ton's score is due. Then, neither of the half-backs can rush worth a hurrah and only one or two of the rushers. This want was severely felt, for it compelled Harvard to gain all ground by kicking, or by the getting tnrough of the rushers. But this leaves the ball in the hands of the other side and when near the enemy's goal line...

The trouble to the students in preparing these slips of paper is hardly worth considering. It would seem as though this plan, which is at once so simple and laborsaving, could be profitably adopted by many instructors at college. If we cannot have the privilege of absolute voluntary recitations we can at least be saved the annoyance of hearing our names read off daily...
...gratefully received as holidays, but at last are no longer hoped for. Who would not be willing to have the summer vacation a few days shorter, if thereby, a day or two could be gained for a genuine Thanksgiving recess?

The same reasoning that has been given concerning Washington's Birthday does not apply Thanksgiving. It has been argued that, because Harvard...
...constant dropping will in the end wear away a stone, but if the amount of communications, editorials and special articles written on this subject were to be printed altogether we are sure that the rock of opposition would melt away like mist before their formidable array. The experiment is worth trying for one year at least, and then it could not be said (?) that Harvard college was behindhand in the march of college improvements...
