...Schliemann made a great discovery. Upon excavating the so-called hill of Troy, he found it to be a heap of walls, houses and rubbish, for fully half its height. On a hill which was originally sixty feet high, nine different settlements had been built; city upon city. The second city was built high walled upon the first, and was followed by the third, fourth, and fifth, in nearly the same limits, until the builders of the sixth city extended bounds and founded Troy.

The championship season will soon be upon them, and unless there is a decided stirring up, Princeton will find herself at the bottom of the heap. It is true the season has been a late one, and the frequent changing around of the men has kept matters in an undecided condition, yet these facts should not excuse the carelessness exhibited, which almost approaches indifference...
