...pleasantest feature of the Yale-Princeton game was the absence of the rough and brutal play which characterized the game at New York last year. There was just as much rivalry and just, as much spirit shown, but the players seemed to realize that they were not brutes but men. We were likewise much pleased at the very fair and impartial accounts of the game, written by representative Yale and Princeton men, which appeared in the Sunday Globe.

Especially was such sulphurous language objectionable on Monday when several ladies were present at the game. Their presence, which ought, if anything could, to have retained their careless or thoughtless players...
