Another football cloud and n dark one, seems
TO be gathering for Harvard Rumors which
have circulated among college men for several
days were yesterday substantiated by some
prominent Ialemcn who have boen in New
Haven recently to sec how the crew was getting
along This fresh obstacle to the progress of
liarvard's football does not spring from Presi-
dent Eliots faculty, but from the Yale
camp. According to the information just con-
hrmed beyond any doubt, Capt. Brink Thorne
OF the New Haven eleven stated that his team
OF Ellis will face tho Harvard eleven next fall
only on certain conditions. And these conditions
are OF most extraordinary nature. Indeed
they arc little short OF humil,ating They stip-
nlate that some one OF authority In tho Cam
bridge organization must make amends TO the
Yale players for tho disagreeabe things that
were said about Capt. Hinkcy and some of his
men after last falls game ut Springfield.
1t is even understood that the Yale captain
goes so far MS to say that the Harvard coaches
must practically make n public apology To ex-
Capt. Hinkey and TO Yale for their criticisms
after the defeat of the crimson by the blue.
This remarkable demand by the Yale captain is
understood to have been made in reply TO corrc-
spondence from Capt. Arthur Brewer of liar-
varu relating to q game for next fall
1mmediateld after the Harvard faculty finally
decided about ten days ago not TO interfere
with intercollegiate football this year. Capt.
Brewer wrote to New Haven seeking n confer
ence with Capt. Thorne in regard to next
NovemOer's game. For some reason they have
as vet been unable tn meet. but several letters
have passed between them. In these letters
Capt Thorne is said to have asserted that before
he can consider any arrangements for next fall
there must be All apology made to eN-Capt.
Hinkey and his players.
When the self-appointed Yale jury, which
was formed last December to investigate the
charges against Hinkey's playing at Springfield.
published its whitewashiny decision in Jan
uary. it seems tnat it had formed plan
of action. That plan was obvious. and 1t
was thought that nothing more would be
heard in that direction. But this new move
on the part of Capt. Thorne seems to
be part OF the scheme to convince the football
world that fale's greatest player was an nno-
cent as well as an outrageously abused man.
BY the prominent Yale men referred to as sub
stantiating what have until now been rumors,
IL is said that the feeling at New Haven would
not have been intense but for the fact that the
hardest things said last fall were in statements
made by some OF IIarvards highest coaches.
Some of the conservative New Haven gratlu-
ates are opposed to any attempt to revive the
hard feeling engendered on both sides last No
vember. but some who were Hinkcy's closest
friends and advisers still very bitter. and
they are responsible for reopennG the breach.
or course, Harvards action is awaited with
great interest at New Haven, and by the Yale
men here in New York who are on the inside
and know what the situation is.
The conservative ores are afraid that there
may be no game next fall between the blue and
the crimson. as they say the Yale management
will never back down on the conditions rs
stated. and they do not think that an apology
will be made by Harvard's coaches
