...players and with very little practice in the McGill game, owing to the preparation for the Graduate match, we won a victory over the Canadians. Yale may object on the score that Harvard has already become well acquainted with the game. Very true, but Yale can practice and learn it during the fall. It is a game very easy and simple to learn, requiring, at the utmost, two weeks' practice for a club to be able to play it skillfully.

Those who heard them may perhaps be interested to learn to what extent Mr. Alley's remarks represent the trend of opinion in England. I am happy to believe that English feeling, strongly if vaguely among the workers, and quite markedly in University and other intellectual circles, is rallying to this very attitude...
