...editorial in a recent Advocate takes up the much-discussed question of the football championship, and decides that Princeton still has a right to the title which she has held for the past three years. To us it seems that this decision is wrong. The facts are as follows: Princeton was champion last year, and has won two games and tied one this year. (This assumes that she will get a game from Columbia either by play or forfeit.) Yale has precisely the same score. Now, if the championship is something that is played for each year...
...Latimer and Williams, and Harvard by Folsom and Coolidge. Mr. Coolidge called the meeting to order, and the following officers were elected: President, Duffield; Vice-Presidents, Cram and Ladd; Secretary and Treasurer, Coolidge. The Judiciary Committee, consisting of Folsom, Chairman, Cram, Thurston, McCune, and Latimer, decided that the championship of 1880 be awarded to Princeton, and that Amherst had forfeited her membership by failing to play Princeton on June 23. Amherst, however, was re-admitted. Yale's application for admittance into the Association was granted, and Lamb and Peabody entered as delegates. The league rules of last year were adopted...
...much confidence in themselves, for it is needless to say that they will find Princeton and Yale teams very different opponents from those of Saturday's game. Constant and energetic practice is needed to bring the playing up to the proper standard, if we are to win the championship this year...
...played, of which only seven were won. Yale won the series in two consecutive games of 9 to 4, and 11 to 4, respectively. Three games with the Bostons proved more disastrous than usual.

Our prestige in base ball had fallen, and after the victories up to '73, a period of defeat...
...several names since famous here are noticed among the players, especially those of Ernst, Leeds, Tower, and Thatcher. But the year was one of defeats: Princeton won two games; Yale won two, thus getting the championship for the first time, and also whitewashing us by 4 to 0. This is a fitting place to close this record of the first period of our Nine's history, for in 1875 several changes were introduced into the game, notably the substitution of curve pitching for the old-time under-arm pitching...
