New Englanders had gloomy wealth
er-more depressing to them than to
their opponents, as they were stran-

much worse, they were obliged to
undertaken the contest under the new

These rules affected the work OF
the collegians very materially, and
had they gone into the struggle with
out this handicap there is hardly a
doubt that the result would have been
different. However, they did as well
as could reasonably have been expee-
ted, and will not be by their country
