Although the papers of Yale and Harvard may occasionally engage in a tilt in a wordy warfare over some such subject as the freshman ball game, there seems to be at least one subject on which all are agreed, and that is in denouncing the "mucker" nuisance. Nor. is it alone at Cambridge and New Haven, but at every college town of any considerable size these little nuisances seem to make their baneful presence felt.

It may be because we are bigoted on the subject of professionalism, but we confess that we are unable to see what possible right a nine, composed partially of professional players, has to play for a college championship any more than a league nine, under the name of some particular college, would have. Such games are no more college games...
