...meeting of those interested in gymnasium drill, and especially of those men who wished to go into training for the Mott Haven sports was held in the director's room yesterday afternoon. Dr. Sargent thought that more interest ought to be taken by the students in general athletics; that training for the various events ought not to be confined to those who had already showed a marked proficiency in them, but should be extended to those who might by proper exercise develope into excellent athletics. The trouble in the past has been that too much dependence has been placed upon...
...half past seven yesterday evening more than a hundred men had gathered in the meeting room of the gymnasium, so that it was uncomfortably crowded. The general sentiment of those present seemed to be that the hearing was premature and did not give the students the chance for concerted action which was desirable.

He is to look after the general physical welfare of the students and not to devote himself to any specialty. In appointing any man for a special sport, as base ball, or rowing, they would be encouraging a professional spirit, which it is their object to quench...
COMMENT ON THE YALE-HARVARD GAME. -In the Harvard team Willard, Finney, Hurd, and Burgess were at variance with the general incapacity. The trouble with the Harvard men is that they are too dainty and shun the necessary exertion of playing foot ball to win. The players above named are good, but the other seven men do not properly support them. Especially Kimball, the Captain, falls below the standard of play which is expected of the leader of a Harvard University team. -[N. Y. Times...
