...secrecy? If to obtain the desired dual league with Yale, why fear to give the college time to consider it? Why spring this alliance of the "fox and goose" on the university? The answer is, 'To take advantage of the ill-feeling excited by the Princeton game to get rid of Princeton.' Why not have done this in a straightforward deliberate way, if it is desired by both Harvard and Yale. Surely they are not bound in any way. Harvard, it is conceded, has been generally outwitted by Yale in council as well as in the field, and we read...
...said that there are two methods, persuasion and legislation, which can rid us of the evil of intemperance.

If these gentlemen labor under the misapprehension that base-ball is an innate accomplishment, and not the result of hard, steady work they are mistaken, and the sooner they rid their minds of this idea, the better it will be for their reputation in the eyes of the college, and Princeton's chances for the championship. However, we are still in the race, and our hope, though diminished, is by no means desperate. The lesson of last year is still fresh...
