There ia nothing official in the movement to
bring Princeton and the University of Pennsyl-
vnnia together on the football field this fall.
In fact. no authorized negotiations between tho
two universities for tho resumption Of any
kind of sport have been attempted, and there
will DO mono until the Quakors consent TO rec

sisted upon ever since the breach occurred In
1894. 1t istruo' that"thcre is asmore friendly

peace and harmony may be restored. Butsat
tho present time the Undergraduates and
alumni Of both universities are powerless to
bring about q reconciliation because of an OBJ

Tho football and baseball games with Penn

by tho Princeton Faculty Athletic Committee,
consisting of ProfA. Fine, Scott, and Wilson,
chiefly because OF the charges of ineligibility
that were made against certain Pennsylvanians
and also for tho reason that tho rivalry between
the teams was growing too bitter. Tho action

Committee, consisting Of Tracey II. Harris,

and Q. G. Cuyler, has been sent to the Faculty
Committee asking for games with Pennsylvania,
and until such a request is framed no action can

Gals OF the New York Baseball Club say that
by this arrangement and the erection Of a new
open. stand across the centre field they could
provide seating capacity for 10000 persons, or
more than twice the number afforded by the
stands in Manhattan Fleld. Many local: foot
ball enthusiasts, regret that such an arena was
not thought OF before Yale and Princeton do

limited seating accommodations at Manhattan
