Obviously his tentative proposal would in no way affect the second point. One Yale football victory, we all frankly admit, is worth a season of defeats; therefore it would seem that the unifying effect of athletics would not be greatly lessened by substituting intramural contests for pre-Yale games...
This is not an entirely agreeable conclusion. But, to go back, for what other purpose do we have the pre-Yale game? For training? If Yale gave up her early contests too the loss of training would be equalized. For "college spirit"? The Yale game would take care of that. For--we hesitate here--for advertising?
