...seem to be giving very hearty support this fall to our University Athletics, either by subscriptions or by training, for the honor of the Crimson. The Football Team, of which we were all so proud, was well supported, it is true, when it went to New Haven, and realized a sum sufficient to be a decided help in paying its expenses. But the cost of the two New York trips was large, and on account of the bad weather but very little money was taken at the gate, so that the Team fell considerably behind in finances. The managers...
...ordinary demand for boats, oars, and coaching, to say nothing of travelling expenses and transportation. The amount of money so far subscribed indicates that the total amount will fall considerably short of what is required, and Freshmen are reminded that their crew this year demands their most generous support. The care with Yale would certainly be a novelty, but it would be a difficult thing to find a suitable course and accommodations, even if the Yale Freshmen should wish to row, which they do not. The consideration of a Cornell race involves the question still more, and, all things considered...

In behalf of the Team we thank the College for the general support which it has given this fall, and especially for the enthusiasm evinced by two hundred men having signed for tickets to New Haven. What we may expect with the Yale team is a hard-fought, fiercely contested match; what we trust we may expect of the spectators are actions which are consistent with emulation rather than enmity. The Eleven has our most sincere wishes for success...
...failed, and has in fact been eclipsed by cricket, though the latter is the newer sport. Had Lacrosse been able to obtain a high position in the estimation of our students, by common consent it would have had a field allotted to its use, and would have received pecuniary support, which is the willing and necessary accompaniment of a popular sport. The opponent of tennis further states that to those who do not play the game it seems to be the most utterly imbecile and childish of all out-door sports. This does not appear to us strictly correct.
