It is a false and unsafe feeling, and one that in the end is bound to affect us in an unfavorable way, both ourselves personally, as members of Yale University, and at the hands of other colleges with whom we have dealings. This idea has been put forward so much in the late discussion of the base-ball question that it has become quite common for certain men to express the unqualified opinion that the whole scheme is one intended solely for the benefit of some person or persons remote from New Haven.

Owing to the fact that the colleges now in the association are so far apart, each team plays each other team but one championship game each year, and the college teams seldom meet in practice games. Consequently the addition of one or two more colleges...
...services they rendered. It will be remembered that the cups presented to last year's freshman crew were purchased from the surplus money of the nine, which was very generously handed over by the nine for that purpose; and it is only fair that the class should now come forward and help carry out the good work that has been begun...
