Most of the glamour of intercollegiate athletics is linked with such big football contests as those between Harvard, Yale and Princeton, and their absence this year has, in Princeton at least, tended toward a more sane and normal attitude toward athletics that is certainly most desirable. If this spirit be maintained with regard to every sport, and if some of the large overhead expense of coaching be done away with, the resumption of intercollegiate athletics is a wise course; but if athletics are allowed to interfere in any way with military training, either because of the demands on the time...
...dropped at Princeton when we entered the war--has excited both adverse criticism and applause. As the writer understands it, Princeton has no idea of a restoration of the former spectacular displays as staged at the Yale Bowl, at Cambridge, and at Princeton, but, on the contrary, a sane and economical indulgence in games against teams of other colleges.

This may be all very well for a nation that respects its treaty obligations, but how about Germany, whose most solemn pledges are only "scraps of paper" when it pleases her to violate them? Does any sane person think for a moment that she would give us a "reasoned declaration" if she wanted to strike first? Boston Post...
