The following item appeared in last night's Boston Transcript:
"NEW HAVEN, CONN., May 16. - The prohibition by the Harvard faculty against further baseball playing by the freshman class falls with peculiar severity at Yale. Last winter the Yale freshmen, after a similar disturbance to that for which the Harvard freshmen were prohibited further contests, were restrained from playing their baseball schedule. Since then their conduct has been exemplary and they have won the first debate Yale ever won, and the Yale faculty have been considering a petition to allow the freshmen to play a single game with Harvard, but the arrangements have been rudely checked by Harvard's inability to play. This is the first year that both Yale and Harvard freshmen have been prevented by faculty penalty from playing baseball."
