HARvARD's POSITION.
The Wearers of the Crimson VIII Never Go
Back Into the Old Leagues.

Back Into the Old Leagues.
Boston, Dec. l3.-Smce Harvard's defeat of
Yale at Springfield there has been much talk
in regard to the position which she will now
take in regard to intercollegiate athletics The
withdrawal from the Football League last
fall directly after the defeat by Princeton, was
generally misunderstood by the public, and es-
pecially by the New York papers, which united
in copdemning Harvard's stand. This season
they have been publishing many paragraphs to
the effect that Harvard will bury the hatchet
as far as Princeton is concerned, and will be
perfectly willing to come back to the old
on the same footing.
As matt er of fact, Harvard did not with
draw from the league on account of enmity
toward Princeton, bat because she did not be-
lieve in the theory of the college leagues with
their constant Quarrels and chickering's. She
has beeu sustained in this position by the out
come of subsequent events, and it is now GER
tain that Harvard will never 30 back into the
old leagues. The daily Crimson, in this morn
ing's issue. explains the position which Har-
ward now holds
