ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.]
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Princeton and
Harvard are good friends again. The two
old rivals have settled their little quarrels,
and taken solemn vows to he good to each
other in the future. 1t was in the Windsor
Hotel on Saturday, after formal meeting
of the Princeton delegates at c. c. Cuyler's
office, that the crimson offered her hand to
the orange and black, and the latter gladly
accepted it. There was good warm shake
all round, but not till the old controversy
was reviewed, and Princeton told Harvard
how unkind and unjust she had been to her,
and how good she had been to Harvard, and
vice versa Harvard also reminded Prince
ton of the wrongs she had done her, and
Princeton said she was not alone in this re-
spect. Then the bad and the good of Har-
ward were put against the bad and the good
OF Princeton, and it was found that both ao-
counts were about balanced.
Buried the Past
So both mutually agreed to bury their
books and forget all the past unpleasant
ness written in them and to remember only
old friendships, and thus to create and
foster new ones. After these solemn ex-
arcises the field was clear for business,
Princeton's stand from the beginning has
been, that as Harvard would not meet
Princeton outside of New England Har-
ward must take the initiative to bring about
a settlement of their disputes and friendly
contests between the two colleges From
this position Princeton has refused to re-
cede. 1t meant the resembling of the
l.
Harvard a couple of wears age. Prince
ton had avowed the willingness to ac-
cept Barvard's challenge for games either
of baseball or of football when that should
come under fair conditions as to place of
meeting, etc. Harvard yielded these points
at yesterdays meeting. Her representa-
tives were Prof Ames. Messrs. Winslow,
Trafford and rockingham. The latter two
being the captains of the football and base
ball teams respectively. Princeton was
represented by Prof Sloane President of
the Committee on Outdoor Sports: C. C.
Cuvler, OF the Graduate Advisory Com
mittee: Max Farrand and James P Parker,
Presidents, respectively of the football and
baseball associations. The Harvard repre-
sentatives annulled the New England rule
consenting to come to Princeton in the
spring to play baseball and in fall to play
football
To Arrange Baseball Dates.
This was perfectly satisfactory to Prince
ton. 1t was also agreed that committees
from both colleges meet and arrange the
dates for series of baseball games. 1t is
probable that one of the games will be
played at Cambridge. As to playing the
football game at Princeton, that has not
been decided so definitely. Both colleges
consider the matter of gate receipts which
had not been nearly so large at either
Cambridge or Princeton as in New York,
but it is almost certain that the first foot
ball game will be PLAYED at Princeton.
The announcement to-day that the two
colleges had agreed to meet in baseball and
football and moreover that Harvard had
agreed to play at Princeton, created some
surprise, and was hailel with great salts
faction. The students discussed the ques-
tion all day, the controversy was reviewed,
and all were agreed that Princeton had
taken an honorable stand from the begin
ming, and that the outcom.; of the contro-
versv is proof of that fact Due credit is
also given to Harvard, and no one feels for
an instant like saying anything to mar the
friendly relations established by yesterdays
convention.
