...management has been injudiciously liberal in its disposal of tickets to "old players, coaches and members of the 'Varsity team" and perhaps to others not mentioned in the CRIMSON'S announcement yesterday of "Yale game seats." On what equitable basis can it be explained why 375 of the best seats should be given in advance to the Freshman squad, to men who at best should not have more than one or two tickets each, even if they should rank ahead of season ticket holders...
...Club won the shoot from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia last Saturday by the score of 121 to 116. Each man shot at thirty birds at unknown angles. Last year U. of Pa. won under the same conditions, 140 to 134. H. W. Sanford '00 made the best individual score, of twenty-nine out of a possible thirty...

Cochems, however, is ineligible to compete in any intercollegiate games on account of the four-year rule...

But in the secret practices of the past two weeks, the interference has been greatly strengthened and unity has come from careful coaching and from the final selection of the halfbacks. End plays have again been the strongest against the smaller colleges, but line plunging, which was so successful against Pennsylvania last year, has been worked up to a better state of development than ever before. Four or five tricks have...
