...usual large crowd greeted the Boston Symphony Orchestra last evening at Sanders Theatre in the second of the series of concerts, to be given here. The only word that can be said in disparagement of the programme was its extreme length. This is a characteristic fault with the Music Hall programmes and so we must expect the same in Cambridge. From a technical standpoint the concert was, as usual, delightful. The coloring, rhythm, and polish displayed by the orchestra were faultless. The first number on the programme was Schubert's overture in E minor, a new work to Cambridge people...
This afternoon we have the only opportunity of meeting any Yale team upon the foot-ball field. Much as we regret the necessary abandonment of the 'Varsity game, there is little use in "crying over spilled milk," especially as the fault of the spilling is not ours; so that it only remains for us now to nerve ourselves more surely for the present contest and to win, if winning is possible. The freshmen must play this afternoon with this in view. The game will be a game only by courtesy, in reality it will prove work. The freshman teams...
...Yale-Harvard foot-ball game this season. Yale has refused to accept any proposition made by our management in regard to the regular championship game, insisting that Harvard should play on the polo grounds on Thanksgiving day, even though she knew that that was impossible through no fault of our own. She has therefore forced us to forfeit the championship game. In doing this she has willfully overlooked the assurance given by Captain Beecher and Mr. Gill of last year's team...
Dear Sir-Yale has had sufficient time now to make good her representations of last year, and it is time for Harvard to take a decided stand. We regret that it has been from our side, though not our fault, that this discussion might not have been brought up and settled earlier. Now, however, considering the circumstances under which the game was played last year in New York instead of in New Haven where it was originally arranged, we will state once and for all that we will play Yale this year in Cambridge on Thanksgiving day, and then...
...respectively first and second in the league last year. It is asserted that if Harvard refuses to play in New York, she breaks the constitution, and therefore forfeits the right to choose the ground. The answer to this is plain. Harvard was forced to break the constitution through no fault of her own. Since she is never to be allowed to play in New York, she must always break the constitution when she is second and Yale first. Consequently Yale will always have the choice of ground, which means that Harvard must always play at New Haven-and that...
