The Princetonian Comments Editorialiy on Last Saturdays Game-Harvard De- sirous of Having a Lacrosse Team Organ ized-Prizes for Scholarship in Senior and Junior Glasses Awarded.
 The following is an editorial from the Princetonian regarding the Yale-Princeton game:
 ''The result of Saturdays game with Yale was very different from what Princeton men hoped and expected. That our team of veteran players, with the prestige gained by last years victory, should be outplayed at almost every point by a team of com paratively inexperienced men, is source of much surprise and disappointment Our opponents deserve all the rewards of Well-earned victory. The statement that the Princeton team was very much over estimated by football experts and the gen. eral public, while the Yale team was very much under-estimated, tells the story Of Saturdays game.
 .aThere are d number of reasons given for our defeat which. are more or less valid We believe that the team was so seriously handicapped by the loss of Captain Coch- ran and Baird that a victory was impos- sibe and that the remaining players de serve great credit for keeping the score as low as it was The men also appeared to be over-tSained, or at least much inferior to their opponents in physical condition. The delays in the game were largely due e to r the while Yale escaped without an injury of any kind. Again our team had no real test of it's strength. Since the game, with the Elizabeth Athletic club, more than three weeks ago, there was no game which dis closed the weak points in team play.
 '"Though Princeton was defeated on. Sat urday we are proud of our captain and our team. We are sure that they suffered from over training rather than over-confidence. Even in defeat, we do not forget what Cap tain Cochran and his men have done. In behalf of all the friends of Princeton, we thank the team, the faithful scrub, and the coaches for their efforts to win the cham pionship for Princeton this year.
 Never in our recollection have the un- dergraduates so Loyalty and faithfully sup ported the team at the game as they did on Saturday. The cheering was strong and was over, for every member of the team and for success next year, were a strong proof that the Princeton spirit cannot be conquered by defeat. This is perhaps after This weeks Alumni Weekly appeared yes terday. A full account of Saturdays game and a list of '97 men and their present busf- ness occupies most of the paper.
 The following is q short editorial regard ing the revival of Yale's former propensity for pulling together.
 away the most joyous fact about last Sat urdays incident at the Yale Field. It was the cause of it, and 1t is equally true that the victory in turn has made more patent and more sure the reason of the victory. Don't forget this fact whatever else you forget about Saturdays game. It is the water or platform, worthy of this place; 1t Is the glory of Yale athletics. As long as Yae Is together, she will preserve for her children her choicest gifts"
