...convention of delegates representing the four colleges of the association meets in New York Wednesday. Little is likely to be done except award the championship to Yale, and to expel Columbia. In deference to Harvard the question of the rules will probably be left to a future convention. In the meantime, if the wishes of the Harvard committee on athletics are acceded to, a meeting of old Harvard foot-ball players will be called, and recommendations with regard to the future conduct of the game agreed upon to be submitted to the convention...
...there are but comparatively few people who know what an "Americanism" really is. In a recent article Mr. Richard Grant White in referring to them, answers the question admirably.

Last Saturday's hare and hounds race finished the autumn season of the Harvard Bicycle Club. Last year the club could hardly be said to exist outsides of its officers, and gave no evidence of life except two hare and hounds races and a race meeting at Beacon Park. But at the beginning of the term it was resolved to make an effort to put the bicycle club on its legs again, and under the new board of officers the effort has succeeded beyond expectation. The first run was to Lexington, where the club had an informal dinner and returned...
