EASILY ANSWERED.The Crimson's promised article on "Yaleism" appeared in last Saturday's issue. A reply to it is quite superfluous for it condemns itself.-[News...
...make no statements at random," it says; "proofs are in our possession. Yale wins her games by systematic preconcerted evasions of the rules of play. Yaleism is this-an underhanded and constant evasion of the rules. This, kept up for an hour and a half, told on the matches with Harvard and Princeton, and won for our New Haven brothers the championship. We cannot offer them our sincere congratulations for such victories. We do not wish to charge Yale falsely, and are ready to hear what she has to say, but she must show stronger proofs than...
This then is Yaleism. It can only be defended by saying that "all's fair in war." But if our inter-collegiate sports are to be carried on in that spirit it will bring us to most lamentable methods.

But it seems to me that the best, and, in fact, the only practicable method of doing away with the "Yaleism," or, what seems the same thing, the "muckerism" of foot-ball, is to enforce the regulation requiring the referee to disqualify a player upon a second apparently intentional violation of the rules of the game. If the referee had disqualified the Yale men who intentionally violated rules to gain the game last Saturday...
