...have been called up today by several newspaper men in Boston, including the inquired as to the basis of a story in a manager of the Associated Press, who Boston afternoon paper headed, "Harvard Tries Sports Bribe. Writers Offered $100 to Delay Dope on the Yale Came." The article shows that this was based on a statement in the CRIMSON editorial of March 27th, as follows...
...could easily be accomplished. I know most of the sport writers well enough to appreciate their goodwill to the game and to the college and that they are willing to serve its best interest. Those who would not comply could be forced into it by excluding them from the press box and the field, which-could easily be done, until they would be brought to agreement by the power of competition.

To repeat what was said on Friday...
...very best reasons for regarding the lizzard as worthy of protection. No doubt the latter is as familiar a sight down there as the common cat is in this country. It is to say the least, unmannerly to scoff at the actions of our South American neighbors. The American Press should be very careful as to how it brings into ridicule the customs and traditions of a foreign people. It is a point much more worthy of discussion as to whether the animal seen is really a mesozoic Plesiosaurus or, as some scientists feel sure, a mere glyptodon...
