game or TWO he will be willing TO meet
the Elizabeth A. g. team next Saturday.

The defeat of the Shamrocks on Sun
day has left a sting as the teams captain
recs ntly deserted them aud went over TO
she MltcheIls. He played against his old

The Tigers are now practicing behind
closed gates. It has been deemed neces-
ssry BY the management to exclude
everybody from the daily practice, and
not even members of the college Gu see
the msa practice. This will continue the
rest of the week in view of Saturdays
game with Pennsylvania. The veteran
Hall today laid aside his walking helps
and took q long run on the track. Hall
is exssperated at the slowness with which
his knee seems to be recovering, and is
impatient to get into the struggling line
again. Trainer McMaster, however, is
disposed to exercise caution in his case.
At Harvard the intercollegiate situa-
tion In regard to the undergraduate rule
and its Substitute has been widely dis
cussed In college circles. It il almost
the unanimous opinion that Yals has
been tricky even to an unsportsmaniike
degree. There Is much feeling expressed
for Pennsylvania, whom every one be-
neves to have received outrageous treat
mens. There is. too. a strong feeling of
contempt for Princeton, with her vacil-
lating policy aud humble submission to
Yale's dictatorship. That Yale has i'll
her latest move gon directly antagon-
istic to The spirit OF the undergraduate
rule is not for a moment doubted, an
her sincerity in pleading for purity in
athletics is thus seriously questioned.
