...season of 1889 has been a successful one for football. The game has not only grown in popular favor, but there has been a marked improvement in the general playing. The scores made in the intercollegiate league show this development in the playing of all the teams, and a tendency on the part of all to play an aggressive game. Last year the winning elevens, in almost every case, shut out their opponents, and Yale did not have a point scored against her during the entire season; but this year the stronger teams have not been able to prevent...
...criticism of Harvard's action published today presents another phase of the misconception which has grown up concerning our present attitude on the football question. The questions are asked, Is not the dual league after all purely a Harvard scheme? Has not Harvard by withdrawing hurt rather than bettered her position? The answer to one question is the answer to both. The trouble with Princeton has no don't called out an expression of much needless ill-feeling. It is impossible, however, despite our recent defeat at her hands, that Princeton should put into the field a fair team capable...

The finer grades of wool must be imported, and unless they are imported we must be contented with an inferior quality of cloth. The bulk of the wool grown here finds its greatest value when mixed with foreign wool; but since the tariff practically prevents our importing foreign wool, we are compelled to import the best fabrics from abroad, and the wool growing industry languishes. The wool grower who procured the tariff failed to procure protection...
That the tariff does not create is demonstrated by the falling off in the woolen industry since the war. In only one line has it grown, and that is in the worsted trade. That branch has been built up, not by the tariff, but by skill and industry. Indirectly the tariff has assisted, because it does not tax the wool used in this industry so heavily as it does other grades of wool...
