Experience seemed to show that Princeton, perhaps because of her smaller numbers, was more prone to, these objectionable practices than Yale or Harvard. We leave it to you and to the public to judge from the evidence presented in 1 and 2 above whether or not she can justly be thought to have yielded to them this autumn in the constitution of her Football team. She is certainly on record as having opposed the passage of the rules aimed at their suppression, which were proposed in the convention held on Nov. 4. She alone voted against them, and the captain...
...combined efforts of Yale and Harvard, but proved ineffective. A Princeton player, who was challenged under them as ineligible to play, took refuge in a technicality at the meeting held Nov. 14, and refused to answer any questions, and Yale and Harvard were outvoted by Princeton and the smaller colleges.

This course left open for future consideration the question...
...recently visited the arid lones west of the Papas river. At present work is being rapidly pursued in the construction of a very large canal, and it is expected that this part of the arid region will soon be a most fertile land.

In the past the races with the smaller colleges have aroused no great enthusiasm and have only detracted from the interest in the great race. Yale's decisive action in this matter shows her desire to form a dual league in boating, which we hope will soon extend to all branches of athletics...
