...this afternoon will be the most important that the Harvard team will play this year. It will, in a measure, take the place of the Yale game and the enthusiasm which has before marked the game at Springfield must this year be vented in the Princeton game. Today's contest, the first since 1889, will be, as we sincerely hope, the beginning of a long series of games with an old and as her repeated victories show a formidable rival. Of the six games played between 1883 and 1889, Princeton won five. Since the League was ended, however, a settled...
...Yale football coachers are planning some radical changes in the eleven at once. Yale's principal games, the contest next Saturday with West Point, and with Princeton Nov. 23, are close at hand, and the Yale team work is very poor.

...interesting contest is being carried on at the fair in the Madison Square Garden, New York. A large American flag is being balloted for by adherents of the various colleges. The college that has the most ballots cast for it wins the flag. Up to Friday of last week Yale was ahead, when Harvard who was second picked up and at last accounts stood several ballots ahead of her rival. The price for each ballot is ten cents, and the contest will close on Saturday next...
...greatest praise is due to the B. A. A. crew for the magnificent contest which they put up. Nothing could have been finer than the way in which they answered Harvard's spurt in the last half mile and kept it up until they had won by ten feet...
