...compared the spirit of sportsmanship in football as it exists today with that of several decades ago and said that on the whole it was much better. The clean cut play of the last Yale game furnished a pleasing contrast to the somewhat questionable tactics sometimes employed in former championship matches.

The Yale-Princeton game of November 15, 1913, was undoubtedly the last championship game that will ever be played on the old field. The wooden stands will remain until next winter at least, in case work on the Bowl should be delayed. It is probable that all the minor games next fall will be played on the old field. It is planned to build the new double-decked covered baseball stand on the site of the present football...
