...affair has apparently become more than one between a professional photographer and a petty burglar. It is between Yale men and several undergraduates of Princeton, Yale, or Harvard. It has become fairly clear, since the receipt by the Yale News of obviously spurious telegrams from various sections of country that the disappearance of this last vestige of an old Yale tradition was an undergraduate prank. That the Eli authorities regard it as such is shown by the fact that detectives are already at work on the campi of the universities under suspicion...
...hard for the members of any other institution to estimate the degree of veneration in which such a relic as the Yale fence is held by those brought up in the tradition. Ten thousand dollars is reputed to be the monetary measure of its value, but cash is proverbially cold and no one can attempt to estimate the heat of emotion likely to be kindled by its recent disappearance.

...Haven, Conn., Nov. 19--A dummy scrimmage between the first Yale team and a scrub eleven, clad in crimson jerseys and using the Harvard formations, featured the first workout of the week this afternoon as the Elis began preparation for the final game of the season against the Crimson in Cambridge on Saturday. Every member of the Blue squad reported for practice, including Albie Booth, Hoot Ellis, Alf Beane, and Tom Taylor, all of whom received treatment in the infirmary yesterday for minor injuries...
