...Yale's last year's crew will receive trophies in the form of a watch charm. The design of the trophies is two crossed tripods, with an oar perpendicular across the surface, an olive wreath about the bottom and a strand of rope on the top which will attach to the chain. On the upper part of the front will be the words, "Harvard vs. Yale, 20:10, record," and upon the back will be engraved the name and position of the men and the date of the race...

These abuses are extravagant expenditure by and for the ball players and the crews, the interruption of college work which exaggerated interest in the frequent ball matches causes, betting, trickery condoned by a public opinion which demands victory, and the hysterical demonstrations of the college public over successful games. These follies can best be kept in check-they cannot be eradicated-by reducing...
