EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I think it is only fair that the college at large should know how unfairly the freshman foot-ball team is treated by the class. The members of its team have worked hard and faithfully all the fall and now when their important game has come, the game with the Yale freshmen, the members of '91 refuse to accompany their eleven to New Haven and support it by cheering. So few men go to New Haven to-day that the number is not sufficient to influence the railroads to offer special rates. I have been in college...
...football season is over, and Yale has won the championship, defeating Harvard in the game Thursday in New York. But let no one think that such a defeat brought disgrace with it. Our team is deserving of the highest honor for the gallant fight they made. Every inch of ground was stubbornly contested. Our eleven played a magnificent up-hill game from the start, and too much praise cannot be showered upon the men who represented our college. In fact we have made an up-hill fight the whole season. Our captain, beginning with comparatively new material, was obliged...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I am inclined to think that the statement in one of your late issues, that Harvard has never beaten Yale at the Rugby game, was not wholly correct.

In that year the Harvard team who had had the advantage of two or three years experience, found it an easy task to vanquish the Yale team, weak from...
...think that it has always been a surprise, not only to Yale men but also to the general public, that Harvard, with the largest number of students of any of the competing colleges, and with so many large preparatory schools where the game is played, as feeders, has never beaten her antagonist at this game which she first introduced into American colleges. The explanation of that fact, Harvard men must know better than anyone else...
...this notable record, so gratifying to Yale, I think two, besides other reasons, can be given. First, the influences and generalship of Walter Camp, deservedly called the father of the American Rugby game, has been most potent. When Yale suffered that first defeat he was playing the old-fashioned game in the Hopkins Grammar School team of this city; but, entering college in the following autumn, he shared in the first of many victories in November, 1876. Since that time his efforts and wise counsel have always been at the service of the team. When he was in college...
