...match than the mean, under-handed tactics that characterize Rugby. The season has been far from being a success, and ended in a fizzle. The convention should have ordered the Yale-Princeton game to be played over, which Princeton was ready and willing to do. As far as the championship is concerned, although there is no championship of 1886, Princeton holds the supremacy of foot-ball to-day, by reason of Yale's failure to wrest it from her, just as anyone holds the first place until he is deprived of or forfeits it.

...look at the question of another game to decide the championship, it certainly seems as if neither Yale nor Princeton has acted in the happiest manner. Princeton sent a telegram at eleven o'clock, which, as she explained in a later message, must be answered within an hour. As the question involved was one that could not possibly be answered off-hand, the natural inference would be that Princeton was not especially desirous of having an extra game, but wished to throw the responsibility for an unsettled championship upon Yale. This may not be the case...
