...Boston Post of yesterday contained a long letter from John Codman 2d, on the foot ball controversy. We quote the most pertinent passages...
Yale tried to run her halfbacks through the center and she gained considerable ground in that way, but all the long runs with the exception of one by Wurtemburg and one by McClung were made by Gill. Yale scored her only touchdown by a cleverly worked trick. With the ball in Yale's possession on Harvard's twenty-yard line three downs were made in succession.

...fifth century, a class of men sprang up which gave extra instruction. These were called Sophists, or, as Professor Sidgwick calls them "professors of rhetoric and art of conduct."

The matter when sifted to the bottom presents these two questions: Is the stand which Harvard has already taken a wise one? and Ought Harvard to withdraw from the foot ball league? To both of these questions we answer unqualifiedly-yes. The justice of the principle which we have enunciated is beyond cavil. It is our duty, then...
