...view of bringing one more championship to New Haven, for we are informed that a strong team has already been put in training, and that a challenge has been sent to the Harvard Polo Club. But this time, though it is evident that Yale is hunting for one more scalp wherewithal to complete the mural decorations of its wigwam, Harvard must beg to be excused. We don't play that kind of polo. We are lazy, it must be granted, but still it looks rather well to trot through our games on ponies, and, since we trot through our classics...

...association. The mistake certainly should not be the cause of a stampede from the hall - such a result would be truly deplorable.
