...deciding game first. In fact, we are surprised that in face of the unfavorable criticism this plan met with from all sides last spring, Yale could think seriously of proposing it again. We trust she is sincere in her desire to play us; and yet it does not seem to us that her propositions were as liberal as they might have been. We hope that upon more mature consideration, the spirit which has previously characterized Yale and won her the respect of all, will exert a stronger influence and eventually demand that the right be done. We believe that this...

Unless, then...
...because she was opposed to reform. She simply believes that, in the heat of enthusiasm, Yale was indiscreet in attempting to narrow her athletics down to a college basis; and this feeling is apparently strong even at Yale. With college sentiment expressed so strongly against the measure, it would seem dictatorial, at the least, to persist uncompromisingly in a plan so weakly backed...
