...Crimson, in its second editorial, after having disposed of the author's accusations off-hand, continues, rather awkwardly: "It is almost as much to say that college men are fools, to say that they do not elect men into the Glee Club for ability to sing, or into editorship for inability to write." Now, unfortunately, all college men are not distinguished for wisdom, and some are, perhaps, fools, hence it is not surprising that mistakes do sometimes occur, as they have already occurred. We do not wish to assert that men who cannot sing are chosen members of the Glee...
...students, an increase since the opening of college of 70. This is due to the fact that the elections detained many men now attending the professional schools. The students are classified as follows : Literary department, 498; medical, 382; law, 332; pharmacy, 95; homoeopathic, 55; dental, 64. The total is rather smaller than that of last year, but the diminution is probably explained by the increase in the price of tuition...
...asserted positively that he will be unable to play this week. Our game with Columbia on Saturday last speaks for itself largely. Columbia played a very weak game. To be sure, she was crippled by the loss of her two best players, Sherman and Morgan. The Yale team played rather a brilliant game, but it was unsteady and at times very risky. The ball is fumbled sometimes and there is a great tendency to throw it ahead. It is hoped that another week's practice may correct these faults. Probably a large delegation of Yale men will go to Cambridge...
Another fact evidenced last Saturday was the futility of the new five yards rule to obviate the playing of the "block" game. Princeton's - or rather Peace's - skilful playing in this respect to waste time, made it plain that it was as easy to play a stationary, defensive game as before the new rule was adopted. It is to be hoped that some means may be taken at the next convention to make it impossible for a team to avoid playing an active, offensive game throughout...
...Camp of Yale was present at the game making observations. He will probably be unable to play against Harvard next Saturday. Camp has played on the Yale team for nearly a decade now, and it will be rather a novelty to play without...
