Various objections were made to an acceptance, the principal one being that Yale had no preparation or chance to train that would warrant meeting Harvard at present. President Cuyler of the athletic association, Storrs of the university crew, and Badger of the base-ball team, spoke in opposition, and it was voted unanimously not to accept.
