...Rochester, Hamilton and Union, have formed an association and are now playing for the champion ship, and it appears that all except Cornell, if we are informed correctly, have regular professional players on their nines. It may be because we are bigoted on the subject of professionalism, but we confess that we are unable to see what possible right a nine, composed partially of professional players, has to play for a college championship any more than a league nine, under the name of some particular college, would have. Such games are no more college games than the league games...
...confess it is with a certain feeling of regret that we consign the name, Herald, to the past, although we hope, not to oblivion. The present board has been so strongly identified with every matation in the fortunes of the Herald, with all its ups down, that, if well-known 'indifference' did not prevent us, we should almost feel tempted to drop atear on its sepulchre.

So far as it means anything, it seems to mean that we were influenced in our article by some betting interest in the game. Comment is unnecessary. Having mentioned this...
...list of "Immortals" recently published in our columns. "Out of respect for the ability of Harvard students," says the News, severely, "We prefer to look upon it as an expression of personal liking, rather than the result of any deliberate exercise of judgment." We are most free to confess that we do not altogether approve of the list ourselves; but will the News kindly print us a list of its own which shall be formed, not from "personal liking," but from a "deliberate exercise of judgment," that we here at Harvard may clearly see the error of our ways...
