...very good work for the victorious team, while Moffat, Kimball and Lamar gained much of the advantage for the orange and black. About 7000 people witnessed the match, many of whom were widely enthusiastic throughout the entire contest. Our eleven is to be congratulated that the recent considerate action of Yale's eleven has made it possible for us to play next Thursday, and it is hoped every Harvard man who can will go on and support his team on that eventful day. Whatever the issue may be the game cannot fail to be interesting and we are confident that...
...following from the Yale News of Friday : "There appeared in this morning's paper a letter from the chairman of the committee on athletics, forbidding the Harvard eleven from carrying out an arrangement with Yale to play a match game on the polo grounds on Thanksgiving day. This action will cause serious loss, financial and otherwise. In the first place the faculty force the Harvard management to break a definite verbal agreement entered into by representatives of the two colleges acting through the Yale foot-ball president, with the consent of the Harvard president, Mr. Clark, and the manager...

If any changes in the rules seemed advisable to them, notice should have been given before, when any suggestion which they...
...brutality than the ones so much objected to by the committee. It seems to us that the committee objects more to the letter of the rules, the possibilities they suggest, than to their spirit. But after all we object most strenuously to the time they have chosen for their action. It is too late after all arrangements have been made to interpose objections that should have been made before if at all. If Harvard insists on any such change it would seem that they have a right only to say that Harvard cannot play under the existing rules during...
...action of the faculty committee on athletics in respect to foot-ball, has astounded the whole college. Although at first it was hard to believe that any such announcement could be true, later developments have shown that the committee are thoroughly in earnest. while they state that they are backed by the faculty and corporation. While we can well understand what they complain of in foot-ball as brutal and demoralizing, and respect the good motives with which we are bound to credit them, and while we would ourselves gladly hail any reform of the objectionable features of the game...
