FOOTBALL CHAT.

A prominent Harvard alumnus, who
watches football closely, is quoted as
saying: II think Harvard would agree
to change the date for the Springfield
game If 1t would help solve the Yale
Princeton trouble" Yesterday Mr.
George Adee, Yale's leading football
light in this city. distinctly said that
