...training will be followed this winter with the candidates. Instead of dividing the men into two squads of long and short distance, for the present all will train together on light gymnasium and outdoor work. The change has been made because in past years the new men have been apt to overdo the matter at the start. Later in the season a division will be made and more severe work begun.

Little is known of Princeton's team play, but we have seen that Yale's is at times really remarkable. Such work kept up throughout a game would be well nigh invincible. But the Yale team did not keep it up last Saturday, and it is hardly...
