Therefore, Princeton and Harvard would have to play off the championship. The writer seems to have forgotten that, in that case, Harvard would have won three games and one undecided, and that Princeton would have won three and lost one to the very team with which she would dispute the championship. It would evidently be absurd for an unbeaten college to share the championship with her defeated rival. It would also...
