...retain the championship against so magnificent an eleven. We congratulate the spectators upon witnessing so spirited a contest as that of yesterday afternoon. We congratulate the University upon possessing two such powerful scrub elevens. It would not have been difficult, however, for an unprejudiced observer to discern the peculiar strength of each team. "Sand" and science were shown by our eleven, science and "sand" by the other. Both teams showed that they were playing to win.

Let the New Haven men beware, for "We're going to beat Yale." Now a word to the News. We recognize the peculiar ability which the New Haven journal has always displayed in carping at what claims to be "Harvard," and therefore we are little surprised that when a lack of copy stares the editor in the face he should criticise Harvard. If the CRIMSON has displayed energy enough to silence for once...
