...monarchists, or imperials, that the anti-republicans may be victorious. The republican party is too progressive to supply from its elements a conservative party, and its opponents pose as the friends of the policy of "let well enough alone." At present the electoral victories of ex-General Boulanger seem to be the most dangerous part of the whole situation, but the dangerous quality of these victories disappears upon careful study of the department where they took place. He has never won a victory in a staunch republican or conservative department, and has only been able to attract the floating vote...
...improbable. Captain Noyes will have plenty of material from which to select men to fill the vacant positions. At present, Poole, '91, and McClung, '92, are the most promising men for the position of catcher. There have been some rumors that Stagg would go behind the bat, but they seem to have little foundation. Poole, '91, was catcher and captain of his class nine last year. He is a good back stop, and probably will be selected to fill Dann's position. McClung, '92, half back on the eleven this fall, caught on the Phillips Exeter Academy nine for four...
...football squad which is now daily at work in the gymnasium under the direction of Mr. Lathrop has been formed for the purpose of bringing more directly under the observation of Captain Cumnock all those men, in whatever branch of the university they may be, who seem to be at all fitted for a position on next year's eleven. The men are under the command of ex-Captain Sears, who will also watch the candidates carefully. Everyone who considers himself at all likely to be able to play football, whether he has played before or not, is expected...
...would seem as if the time had certainly come when some change should be made in the method of choosing umpires for the annual football contests. It is time that men should be chosen who have no personal interest in the success of either contesting team or of any third team in the Assassin, or else men of sufficient age and experience to be able to divorce what small interest they might have from their action. To come directly to the point, it is time the colleges began to have professional umpires. To this proposal the objection has been raised...
...good fortune to see every Princeton-Yale game since 1877, and most of the Harvard games within the same period, and when I remember that, in that time, I have seen three games where, with fair umpiring, the score at least would have been different, it certainly does seem time for Princeton, in justice to herself, to demand some new and fair system of umpiring, so that there may be no danger of history repeating itself. I have only to add that this plan is heartily approved by a large number of New York alumni with whom I have conversed...
