...which is not only very tiresome in itself but more than that is entirely unnecessary. Two years ago the game played in New York resulted in a draw which caused a violent discussion between the college papers of Yale and Princeton. This left the question in such a tangled shape that it is presumptuous for any one to express an opinion of the championship of that year. Twelve months ago, the Princeton Faculty forbade the Princeton eleven to play in New York. The Constitution of the Foot-ball Association says that the game between the two leading clubs shall...

Holden, too, was running well. Harding made two touchdowns, Porter two, Holden two, and Dudley one, from which Harding kicked five goals. Score, 58 to 0. Woodman and Adams...
