...This method of playing the games has not only the advantage of "facts" in reality, but it is based on the common principles of honor as well. This has been our only claim, and we firmly believe that this method is the only fair and manly basis on which the base-ball games can ever be played. It will be well when this idea becomes firmly fixed in all contests between colleges, to strive to make them as fair as possible instead of endeavoring to gain all the advantage which can be taken from an adversary...
...Hill; and we feel sure the small attendance at this lecture must have been caused by ignorance or negligence on the part of the students.

The paper contains many things that would hardly be considered appropriate to a Harvard paper, but much of this is chargeable to the proverbial weakness of a first number. Typographically the paper is perfect. Altogether, although the paper is far below what we expected, and although...
This may be a lucid statement in connection with this subject, but we confess that we do not understand it. Is it a Yale joke, or is it the "Yale method" of argument? We confess we have not given the subject of betting any prominence in considering this subject, and although we may speak "but of the heart," we are not aware that we have spoken "out of the pocket." So far as it means anything, it seems to mean that we were influenced in our article by some betting interest in the game. Comment is unnecessary. Having mentioned this...
