After being buffeted about for five weeks the petition of the musical clubs has been referred back to the faculty. This looks as if those who are determined it shall not be granted are trying to kill it without wishing to take the responsibility. The only specific objections we have heard to the trip are that it is beneath the dignity of University, that the attitude of Western people towards Harvard is such that they will scrutinize our representatives and turn every point against them, and that the scheme looks too much like advertising. The last is unimportant, for, aside...
...practice last night was very loose. Some of the men were evidently possessed with a greater desire to kill each other than to play foot ball. Everybody fumbled the ball badly, and the rushers seemed to have forgotten all they ever knew about the game. Captain Bowman has been trying the candidates in different positions; he has decided nothing yet as to the probable make-up of the team. Most of the candidates have had some experience, but they need a great deal of hard work before they will play in anything like good form...
...cent. of the power applied. Since the current always equals the pressure divided by the resistance and a man's resistance is about 2000 ohms, he cannot take more than a quarter an ampere from the 500 volt current of the street railway, whereas 10 amperes are necessary to kill. Interesting and convincing statistics were cited to prove the number of deaths from electricity almost nothing compared with those from all other violent causes. Figures also show the marvel louse increase of electrical railways and the small danger of fire from wires...
...adoption of a schedule of base ball games by Yale and Princeton answers decisively one of the arguments against a dual league. It has been maintained that the formation of the league would kill Princeton athletics by leaving her no college strong enough to compete with. Yale has now shown that she intends to treat Princeton on the same basis as before the dissolution of the triple league, and Harvard has never expressed her unwillingness to continue her contests with Princeton. If the Princeton nine wishes to challenge Harvard our team will undoubtedly accept, subject only to the recently imposed...
...which are connected with athletic affairs, the committee are of the opinion that intercollegiate contests stimulate athletics, stimulate general exercise, and thus favorably affect the health and moral tone of the university." With such evidence in favor of intercollegiate contests, it would seem to us exceedingly bad policy to kill them as President Eliot's rules inevitably would. For without minor games outside of the college the university teams could not obtain sufficient practice to be any match for Yale teams, and the "one, two, or three intercollegiate contests" would become a mere farce. Moreover it would greatly decrease...
