We are much shocked at hearing of the death of Watkinson of Yale, the famous half-back of this season and one of the prominent players of Yale's team. It seems that he caught a severe cold on Thanksgiving Day at Princeton and has lain unconscious ever since at the point of death. It was a frightful day and any person was in danger, who stood in the open air for any length of time, especially those who played in the game. It is a very sad ending to the pleasant and invigorating sport of the fall. Death seems especially sad and shocking where its cause lies in some sport that was intended to strengthen and invigorate the man and help him on.
