Harvard Should Play PRINCETON or Size
Club League Be Formed as n Remedy.


| Club League Be Formed as Remedy.
Harvard and Princeton fodti all men have
| locked horns over the annual query shall
our eevens meet? ?" The rival elevens have
! not met since 1891. owing to series OF mis-.

| The most immediate cause however. for the
trouble between the crimson and the orange
| and black was Harvard's attempt to arrange
| an annual Thanksgiving Day game with the

the Cambridge players were compelled to take

brought to bear to arrange game after all.

who have been closely identified with football
in years gone by whose sole purpose is to
bring about meeting between the rival kick
ers. There are also a number Of Princeton
alumni, who feel that the existing breach
should be healed. These gentlemen. it is I'M
