...third point made in the report is that the matches take away, not only the players, but 'large numbers of students, who go as spectators. Not less than 400 attended the game at New York last autumn between Harvard and Yale...

We have been informed that, owing to the many stages which the petition will have to go through before it is finally acted upon, there will not be any chance of a change this year.

When Yale suffered that first defeat he was playing the old-fashioned game in the Hopkins Grammar School team of this city; but, entering college in the following autumn, he shared in the first of many victories in November, 1876. Since that time his efforts and wise counsel have always been at the service of the team. When he was in college he was not only an admirable player, but he dignified the game by infusing into it skill...
