In the last number of the Auburn was an article by Walter C. Camp on football. Mr. Camp traces the growth or evolution of the game until the time when Harvard carried out the idea of learning to play under the Rugby rules, and contesting with the Canadian teams which played by those rules. Then followed Harvard's effort to introduce this game in the other colleges, and particularly in Yale. Much opposition was met; but "in 1874 Yale began to yield, and in the following year her delegates met those from Harvard, and, after a stormy session, a combination was effected, and Yale and Harvard scheduled to meet in the fall and play a match under the rules adopted by this convention."
