Yale will play 35 games in case of ties and six of these will be against professional teams. The University team is never allowed to compete with any but amateur nines, and thus loses some very valuable experience, for in every game with a team like the New York Nationals a great deal is learned.

The figures show, however, that 79 men cut on the day of the Carlisle game and 110 on the day of the Dartmouth game...
