...delicately concealed compliment to our importance. If the New York World tells entertaining fibs about Yale, it is merely the New York World's way of saying that Yale is powerful and renowned, and that people wish to know all they can about her.

And the games with her have almost always been very interesting. It would take away much of the present excitement over base-ball to have Amherst leave the league...
