...Thanksgiving Day game and I am sure that if your had Bull the score would have been at the worst six to five for Princeton. And if instead of this they had been deprived of Ames, you might have won the game. Ames beat you. Now if the smaller colleges had not been in the association Ames would have been forced to a cross-examination and disqualified (see CRIMSON of this date). He would have been sent after Wagenhurst. So the presence of these smaller colleges in the association proves worse than useless. It is useless, as the scores this...
...year-at least they will be subjected to the greatest pressure toward this end. As to the actual intentions of some of Princeton's players, however, the faculty may well be mistaken, since their information on the vital point in question from their very position is almost sure to be unreliable.

The presence-of 'varsity men too, must not inspire undue confidence in our eleven. There is no reason why the team if rightly used should not win; but too much self-confidence, or too little conscientiousness will...
...favor of the scheme. The exceptional good fellowship displayed at the Spring field game also, may justly be regarded as an index of Yale's sentiment; and more than all perhaps are the telegrams read by Mr. Leeds at the Mass meeting. Words they are to be sure; but after all words are of necessity our only reliance thus...
