...pleasing contrast to the poor success of our university teams in recent years stands the record of victories won by the freshman teams. By defeating the Yale freshman eleven at New Haven Saturday, Ninety-three has added another victory to the long list. The game was played under discouraging circumstances,-on strange grounds and before spectators whose sympathies were almost entirely with the opposing team, and the credit of the victory is, therefore, all the greater. For in spite of the disheartening support received from the class, the freshman eleven played a steady game, not so good a game...

In so slight a defeat there is no disgrace. It can safely be said that no Harvard eleven...

...issues before the students, one based on the past, the other on the future; but only in the former was any binding action taken. Harvard has decided to withdraw unconditionally from the football league, and this is as it should be. By so doing she has put herself on record as the champion of purity in intercollegiate athletics. Whatever may be the result of her action, she has assumed of her own accord an independent position which cannot successfully be challenged...
