...This was the first hint we had that they even thought of that date. Of course on such short notice we declined, inasmuch as we were in no sort of condition and would furthermore be deprived of several men on account of the Princeton game. On receiving this answer the Yale men replied, "Will play the morning of Wednesday before Thanksgiving, or not at all." Now that, we call unreasonable. They knew we could not leave Cambridge any day but Saturday. Therefore we refused to play. In reply they said the class had voted not to play after Thanksgiving...
...they told one of our team who was in New Haven, and the game was thought settled. We made every preparation and on Friday morning were all ready to start, although we had no word from Yale in answer to our letters. Friday morning a telegram came from New York from one of our own men, saying there was to be no game. The class had had a third meeting and decided not to play after all. With beautiful disregard they here dropped the matter. They were not accountable for our actions-what mattered it if we all did come...
...notwithstanding all this we challenged them again to play this week; we had worked for the game and hated to give it up. In answer we learn today that as the college is just in the midst of semi-annual examinations the team could not be got together.

Our team has kept training to the last, laboring under the vain delusion that Yale would finally give up child's play. We have been...
...rumored that several players who took part in the game last Thursday and are expected to do good work for Yale on the freshman eleven, went out of training rather suddenly Thanksgiving evening, and have not as yet recovered from too much "turkey." Unless Yale can give a satisfactory answer to Harvard for her refusal to play on the scheduled date, we think the freshmen can justly claim a most unfair treatment at the hands of their Yale rivals. However this may be, we hope the game will not eventually be given up. Our freshmen have the right...
...street just south of the observatory grounds and cross over to Concord Avenue. We how wind our way through Concord avenue, Buckingham and Craigie streets, coming out on Brattle street, and turning to the left we continue our way down Brattle. But first, why all these perambulations? I answer, merely that we may pass through a very pleasant quarter of Cambridge, and at the same time, "take in" the Longfellow house, which we cannot fail to see on our left as we move down Brattle street. It is another of the famous old Cambridge houses, yellow and white like...
