...from intercollegiate contests, the writer says, are: (1) Provincialism is perhaps prevented by association thus brought about between the representatives of the different colleges; a little more unity (not harmony) is created in the college world.

If it had not been for the smaller colleges-who have no business in the league at all, as the scores this year show.- Ames would have been disqualified, and with a decent amount of daily practice instead of the forty minutes of this autumn we should have beaten Princeton and the Thanksgiving day game would have been ours.

It was plain, however, that the strain on the men was too great. At Princeton the men are required to play for all they are worth for two hours every day and the effect of this training told very plainly in yesterday's contest. On the other hand while Harvard...
