Dean Briggs 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. In baseball, however, Dean Briggs still found much to condemn, censuring particularly unsportsmanlike talk by the players.
