The practice yesterday afternoon was
very light, there being no opposition pIay
on the part OF the second eleven. NUT
ply was on hand as bright as new dol-
lar, and did not appear to be suherins
from the rough handling in Saturday
contest. DR.. Josh Hartwell, who looks
after the physical welfare Of the eleven,
says that the team as whole is IN
better condition than IL was year ago
after the Harvard game. 1t is pretty
generally agreed that last years team
was overturned. and the loss OF the
Princeton game IL attributed TO this.
The talk of Saturdays game still goes
on in college circles, and it is generally
admitted that Il was the toughest game
Yale has ever participated in. HeHel-

ner, that it was a rough game. Several
members of the faculty have discussed
this unofiicially. and a rumor was cur,
rent on the campus to-day that special
meeting OF the faculty would be called
TO take some acton in the matter, and
perhaps prohibit the Princeton game :,
President Dwight and Profs. Henry, L.
Wright and Eugene l.. Richards all afilrm
that no special meeting of the faculty has
been called. All intimate that the present
season of football is not to be regarded
as a test of football at Yale. Professor
Wright dean OF the academic faculty.
stated that he did not know of any reason
why the Nale-Princeton game should not
be played.
IL seems very probable that the players
will receive a caution hAfOTa entering the
Princeton game not 10 play roughly. and
Il is more than probable that some in
fluential member Of the faculty, perhaps
Prof Eugene l.. Richards, will say some
thing TO the men before they leave for
New York on Friday. Professor Richards
Is greatly loved by every student in Yale.
He Is the champion OF athletics In the
faculty, and word from him would have
as much weight as any wish of the COM
bned faculty expressed by unanimous
vote. The whole sentiment OF the Uni
versity. from President Dwight down to
the most unimportant freshman, is firmly
set against any further exhibitions such
as that Of last Saturday.
In the past the faculty have never in
terfered with athletic matters so long as
athletics did not interfere with the sChol-
arshiD OF the students, and there seems
to be no disposition TO do so at this time.
These matters have regulated themselves
heretofore. the students taking the initia-
tive where wrongs existed and rghting
them. This VIII probably be the course
now.
The Yale News, the daily organ of the
University, to-day said editorially rea-
tive to last Saturday Yale Harvard foot
ball game. After a hard-fought battle
the heroic eNertiOns OF CAPTAIN HinkeY
and his men have won the annual Spring
field game for the fourth successive time
for Yale. While giving our eleven the
highest praise, we must not omit 10 note
the splendid showing and plucky fight
made by Harvard
THE one unfortunate feature Of the
contest was the rough play by both sides
Its prevention was the chief object of
the new rules, and IT is much to be re-
GREETED that they failed 10 accomplish
their purpose. The arrangements at the
grounds were perfect and the train SER
vice all that could be desired. In regard
to the spirit displayed by the Yale sym
pathzers, we feel bound TO say that their
lstlessness. as shown by the miserably
poor cheering. was disgraceful.
