...that Columbia acted in an unjustifiable manner and sought unfair advantages, it was not for Harvard to take the law into her own hands and go out of training and leave New London before the day mutually agreed upon arrived. (5.) Whether the motives of Harvard were fear of defeat (which is not believed) or an utter indifference to the Columbia race, caused by the winning of the Yale race, in either case her leaving New London was a breach of duty to the college and a breach of courtesy to Columbia. This position is one outside the disputes between...
...they are to be successful in their game with Exeter next Saturday. Whether their first efforts prove successful or unsuccessful they must not let momentary exultation or discouragement affect their work, but must consider no victory important in comparison to the coveted one over the Yale freshmen, and no defeat so much to be provided against as defeat by them.

If this game could be played it was thought that the question of supremacy between the two nines could be satisfactorily settled, and from the record made in the games at New Haven and Cambridge it seemed altogether probable that the Harvard...
...into the good graces of the students. Some of the lacrosse men themselves were glad enough to have their association abolished, for they perfectly understood the cause of so doing, and wished to rid the association of an obnoxious element which in a measure was responsible for the chronic defeat met with everywhere. No objection whatever is offered to their reorganization in the fall, and the chances are that if the obnoxious element is kept out, and the right men obtain control, lacrosse will once more be set on its booming career, and may after all turn out a credit...
