People at large will no doubt to a considerable degree accept the statements of Princeton's faculty as authoritative in reference to Princeton's players; and indeed we do not mean to question the honesty of their convictions. They are no doubt technically right in affirming that every member of the Princeton team is a bona fide member of the university. Very likely, too, in order to avoid criticism, all the members of the Princeton team will conclude to keep up their connection with the college until the end of the year-at least they will be subjected...

...contrary, has had undue influence in the attack on Princeton. I have, I regret to say, played on Harvard teams when I blushed at the unfair play of the men next to me on the Harvard side, and if the attempt is made to eliminate every man of a mean spirit from every college team, I am humbly of the opinion such attempt is hopeless...

...keep Murphy on third base. When Willard had almost reached second base Murphy made a dash for home. Willard threw wild to Henshaw, and Murphy was home with the other men advanced a base. Kellogg started for third base and the ball was thrown to put him out. Driscoll mean while came home, and Kellogg got third on the attempted out at the plate.
