Though the championship is lost we must not give up hope of winning second place by defeating Yale. After all, the greatest interest centres in the game which is yet to be played. The college must not relax the enthusiasm with which it has hitherto so loyally supported the eleven. A repetition of Saturday's cheering will greatly enhance our chances of winning. The eleven has proved that it can play a strong game and with the practice of another week, we may still look for a victory next Saturday...
...today as we hope and expect, a celebration will of course follow, and this is as it should be. But we must not rush forward blindly. If there are to be bonfires and fireworks, or indeedgeneral demonstrations of any kind, let them take place on the field where the victory was won, rather than on the street or in the college yard.

In spite of all efforts to prevent her, Princeton will send an eleven to Harvard next Saturday which, although it may not be such a team as the college hoped...
DEAR SIRS. The profound mystery of Hastings Hall seems to be unfathomable. Why there should be a mystery, however, has not yet been explained. Surely let us hope that some one is enjoying the present uncertainty in regard to Hastings. One day it is rumored about that the building will be opened "next week." Our rising hopes are dashed the next instant by a contradictory report to the effect that no rooms can be entered until Christmas. Perchance we make humble inquiry at the bursar's office. The gentleman across the desk smiles blandly and says he knows absolutely nothing...
