...regret that any discussion of the Yale-Harvard foot-ball game should have been started in the daily press. It has been our aim to confine all such discussions, as far as possible, to the managers of the respective teams. But charges have been made against the managers of our team which honor compels us to refute. It is evident that Yale entirely misunderstands our position in the matter; therefore, in order to clear up all such misunderstanding, we will proceed to examine the facts of the case...
Articulation is at the same time the lowest and the highest aim of the comedian's art. It is that which is at all times necessary, especially when one appears to the public.

Some of our best players will go out with...
...other opponents are allowed professional practice, but because the action of the faculty which prohibits us from having the same practice has not been productive of the desired results and has not raised the standard of our athletics in the least. This action of the faculty seems to aim particularly at base-ball. It has been said that formerly base-ball was played by every one and afforded excellent exercise for all the students alike; but professionalism has turned the old sport into a business which occupies more thought and more time than the student can afford.
