There is a practice here, of long standing, nourished by folly and disregard of gentlemanly honor, allowed to grow and increase by the indifference of the college and of its officials, which has long passed its day, if it ever had one,-we mean the cowardly joke of sign stealing. It seems now a recognized thing, that to lead a proper and full college life, one must steal one or more signs-the greater the number the greater the glory. But stealing it is, and to the college at large we doubt if the difference between the undergraduate who "rags...
...Harvard University foot-ball uniform" says the Clipper, "made by Wright and Ditson, are probably the finest ever manufactured. The jackets are made of extra canvas, double-stitched and close-fitting. In the back is an elastic insertion about eight inches long and diamond-shaped, which enables the players to bend more easily than the ordinary stiff jacket will allow. In the front is a large letter "H" in crimson silk. Instead of metal eyelet protectors, which in a scrimmage often tear the fingers, the holes are worked in silk. The crimson-gray over which the jacket is worn...
...doubt if Harvard will ever play foot-ball "for all it is worth" until Harvard finds a competent coach-some one who will train our elevens as Mr. Bancroft has trained our eights. Some we know, will not admit that foot-ball can be taught in this definite way. But they need only notice this great improvement of foot-ball at Yale under Mr. Camp's coaching, and to learn about the wonderful work done by coaching at Adams Academy some years ago when the school was large,-to be convinced that foot-ball can be taught ; that it would...
...curve delivery in base-ball pitching, says the Philadelphia Press, was the greatest change ever introduced into the game, and in these days, when an old-time straight pitcher would be knocked out of the box in one inning, there are a good many claimants for the credit of originating it. College men, with the exception of those from Harvard, always insist that Avery brought it to light at Yale, while the Harvard men, who naturally would refuse to see a curve of two feet in a Yale pitcher's delivery, incline to the opinion that Mann, of Princeton...
...stroke and so many changes were made in the boat that the crew was finally selected only about three weeks before the Columbia race. Yet it has very generally been conceded that in point of style and finish the crew of 1883 was inferior to no eight Harvard has ever had. The experiment certainly seemed a success. This year a new plan has been adopted,-a compromise between the old one of training the whole year and that tried last year of training for only six months. Up to Christmas the candidates for the crew are to meet three times...
