...possible objections, however, to Harvard's acceptance of this scheme. The first of these is that as stated it offered no check to professionalism and to the return of graduates to college simply for athletics. From the stand which Harvard has already taken her position on this point is not at all doubtful. She certainly cannot afford to enter any league which does not preclude the possibility of such abuses. But stringent rules could easily be adopted to avoid this possibility, and if this were done, certainly Harvard's first objection should be answered. It remains, then, to consider Harvard...
...this point Professor Trowbridge performed some interesting experiments, and showed some equally interesting photographs to prove the existence of waves of electricity and their oscillatory motion. He then made a most significant experiment in induction, and explained how a man killed by an electric wire was in reality struck by lightning. A dozen lectures would be necessary to explain all the aspects of those phenomena, and only a short description of them was attempted in last night's lecture...

...forward fifteen yards and then Fearing ran around the end and gained fifteen yards more. But on the next four downs Harvard failed to gain, and the ball went to Yale.

At 3.51 Fearing found a hole in the line, and rushing fifteen yards scored again. Goal. Score Harvard 30, Yale 4. At this point Yale made another brace and forced Harvard back. The ball was at Harvard's thirty yard line, when Stagg gave Yale twenty-five yards on account of a foul tackle. This questionable decision brought the ball to Harvard's five yard line, and enabled Yale to force it across...
