Yale is extremely fortunate in that, by her geographical position, she is enabled to get her nine upon the field much earlier than Harvard. Already practice has begun and the men are in fair trim for the Easter trip. It was supposed a week ago that the condition of the ground in Philadelphia would render it impossible to keep the engagements in that section; the snow has, however, disappeared and the ground will be dry by the April recess. Capt. Stagg has found it more difficult this year to arrange professional games than ever before; however, the usual number...
...morrow night. After the new president, these are the absorbing topics in college, and to-day and to-morrow will be given up to these festivities almost entirely. The Glee and Banjo Clubs give their semi-annual concert to-morrow evening, and as they are each in splendid trim an excellent concert is expected. A unique feature will be introduced, which will create great mirth if nothing more, in the shape of a quartette of the poorest singers in college, it being a physical impossibility for any one of them to carry a tune.

...uniforms they formed a very pleasing feature of the show. Their leading transparency informed the public that they were "drumming for clients." Their other transparencies, though all based on legal catches were exceedingly clever. One represented "Circuity of Action," as exemplified by a corporal's arm and a trim maiden's waist; its reverse, by a diagram of a gentleman birching a boy, gave a good illustration of "Quarter Merited." A second displayed a picture of Austin Hall. A third had cartoons of a gory scalp, labeled, "The First Fee," a Puritan demolishing an Indian, thereby illustrating the "Ancient Action...
