...wish to pose as prophets, nor have we any desire to make Inter-University football of less importance than it is, but the first of the "championship" football games between the winning teams from the Harvard Houses and the new Yale Colleges last Saturday afternoon at the Bowl may well be the start of a new era. it was poetically fitting that Harvard sent down her leading team from Winthrop House, and that Yale's challenger was Saybrook College.
