"With bat and ball and oar, on land on water, the blue has been uniformly triumphant, and Yale reigns supreme," he said. "Columbia cheers and strives to imitate, Princeton applauds and despairs, and Harvard goes back to Cambridge and kicks, but her misfortune is that she does not kick hard enough at the right time.
