Why Yale Was Defeated,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is needless for Yale to plead excuses
for her defeat. She had none before the
game and when it was half over it was
clearly obvious to every spectator on Man
haitian field that she was playing out of
her class. In the first place, Yale had every
advantage but science and agility. She
outweighed Princeton by ~ pounds, ag-
greSate height was in her favor. and her
men were older. There is just one man on
Princeton's foot ball team who was inferior
to any of the Yale players, and that man
was Capt. Trenchard.
Yale has been much overrated and If
she was to play Harvard again this sea son
1t is the opinion of the best foot ball critics
here. well as elsewhere, that she wouId
meet her Waterloo. But on the other hand
we have noticed how manfully Harvard
took her defeat from Yale
