...under which good square football could be played, Harvard withdrew. Our action appears all the more admirable when contrasted with Yale's hesitancy in taking what she has already committed herself to saying is a right step, This hesitancy is caused by the very factors that we scorned to fear, i. e., misrepresentation and abuse by the uninformed. The writer has heard nothing but commendation for our position. The Advocate is the first and only thing that has been heard to exclaim, "I told you so!"

If worst comes to worst under the present circumstances, our condition will still remain better than before our withdrawal. It is foolish to harbor the fear that we may not have antagonists in the future, even if we remain outside every league.

Why not have done this in a straightforward deliberate way, if it is desired by both Harvard and Yale. Surely...
...five men having signed the book. Last year and the year before very successful tournaments were held and a precedent was set for an annual tournament. As one of the objects of the tournament is to develop latent talent, all who play the game are invited to enter without fear of being beaten. The tournament is open to all members of the university. The book will be left at Bartlett's until Friday night. Rules for play will be announced later...
