...from me to say that she does not deserve it; the right or wrong of the matter will never be decided. Still there are many of us who have yet to be convinced that the team which represented Harvard on the New York Polo Grounds last Thursday is inferior to Yale's eleven. However, it is useless to repine and to regret the presence of a partial referee; but there are some precautions which we can take which may prevent a repetition of the acts which we all witnessed during the Thanksgiving game. Is there no way by which referees...
...knotty half course through a natural inability to cope with his subject. Some men's minds are so constituted that they find it all but impossible to grasp certain lines of study, and after long and laborious work at some difficult course they find a man who is their inferior in some other branch of work, far ahead of them in marks. The rule is impolitic, as it is a standing invitation to take only such courses as one feel he is reasonably sure of a good grade in. A man who has received high marks for two or three...
...team, numbering some forty men, have been out to the field for practice every day for a week, but as yet there has been but little real playing. One thing has been established beyond a doubt, and that is that the Yale eleven this year will be inferior in several respects to that of last season.

All the athletic goods and gentlemen's furnishings have been moved into a room adjoining the regular office and the stock has been increased to double or treble its former size. The goods are inferior to none which are sold in Cambridge, and as all goods are guaranteed we think the society ought to have the trade of all Harvard men. The Society has lately made the suits of the freshman lacrosse and the '88 tug-of-war teams and is now engaged...
...factor. The team has but two of its nine of 1886, and enters the new league under the most unfavorable conditions. If it makes a good showing, it will be contrary to expectations. The impression prevails that the Columbia nine will be the weak member of the quartet, inferior to the Dartmouth and Williams nines surely, and perhaps to the other two clubs of the old league. The triangular league would have undoubtedly been the best in every way, for the objections that were made to the "weaker" college nines remaining in the league surely appertain to Columbia...
