...Ninety-six nine to arrange for the game with Yale. The two classes were unable to play in their freshman year, and it should be matter of interest to everyone now to have them meet. It is to the credit of Yale that she has been first to offer to play, and we should be very sorry to have anything prevent the acceptance of her challenge in the same sportsmanlike spirit in which it was made...

The words are often used with very little distinction, but the underlying idea...
