Finally, Bingham announced, that the Big Three rivalry didn't mean much any more. This comment was not only ill-advised but downright untrue. If the Big Three rivalry means nothing, why do 60,000 people come to the Harvard-Yale game annually? Why does that game lead most of the Sunday sports sections the following day? Why does the Yale game count twice as much as any other game toward earning a letter? Why are the Harvard-Princeton and the Harvard-Yale games the only ones which undergraduates and alumni always attend regardless of price or team records...
...will be the sheer volume of people antagonized by the Bingham statement. Harold Stassen and the University of Pennsylvania are answering the alledged slur on their athletic purity. The Yale A.

This does not mean that the members of the team did not deeply resent Bingham's remarks. Those players we have talked to thought it was not very tactful of the Athletic Director to attack the training habits of certain members of the team. They felt it needlessly antagonized the graduating seniors on the team; that even though Bingham meant only a few offenders, it reflected on the whole team, and that if he really wanted to improve the training of the team he should have waited until next September to exhort the team to train vigorously...
