Never before in the history of the college foot-ball championship have the three leading teams been so evenly matched as this year. The Yales have made "rushing" and "tackling" their strongest point, while Princeton has in no previous season had a team in the field that played so well in "kicking" and "passing" as the eleven of 1882, while Harvard's team has tried to combine all four essentials.

As I do not think the Yale men can ever be altered in this respect, I think the only remedy is to stop playing foot-ball with them. The game with Princeton, of the week previous, which was much closer than the one with Yale, showed that foot-ball could be played with the proper spirit and enthusiasm without leading to any of the excesses that always characterize a "Yale" game. Harvard was, undoubtedly, fairly beaten, but we cannot but criticise the methods used to gain...
