...left. Mr. Walter Oakes, the manager of the Harvard eleven, says in his letter declining the challenge, that "it is impossible to play another game, although we would like very much to play off the tie. Our semi-annuals are at hand and the men think that they cannot spare the time but must now make up for that lost during the foot-ball season. Besides, even if they should begin to practice and train so late in the season, a cold snap would come, and there would be so much snow that it would be impossible to play...

His plain meaning was that those who have their millions to spare should give them to Harvard, which has so large an endowment now that it cannot be harmed by receiving more, instead of to Yale, which is to be preserved by being kept poor.
