...blue, the sun shone, the Harvard cannon boomed and everything was lovely-everybody was happy and cried, "The finest game of foot ball ever seen!" The second half, the sky clouds and lowers, the sun disappears the cannon ceases to boom, and the complaints of slugging, unfair play, and Ames resound and increase with Princeton's score, till at the close Princeton is pronounced a brute, a knave, a liar. The Princeton players were, heavier men and older men than Harvard and could stand a rough game of give-and-take longer. Was this Princeton's fault? Then, too, there...
...Harvard, who, with the stories and facts as now presented, cannot help feeling that the smart of defeat, despite protests to the contrary, has had undue influence in the attack on Princeton.

In accordance with this rule Harvard has sent to Princeton...
DEAR SIRS-I think that the graduate who complains in the CRIMSON of the poor place reserved for coaches in the Yale-Harvard game is all wrong. He says that the coaches should have one side of the field instead of an end. But this would be manifestly unfair. A coach holds about twelve men on an average, but the space taken up by one would accommodate six rows of eight men each. or 48 men. Supposing that twenty coaches-a small number were present, two hundred and forty men would occupy the space which might have held nine hundred...
