Another Attempt to Revive the Old serieF-
Important Games This Fall.


Talk Of a football game this year between
Princeton and the University Of Pennsylvania
has been revived. although the undergradu-
ates OF both institutions have been anxious
for a resumption OF the old-time contests for
two years past. As THE SUN has pointed out
on several occasions. the matter rests chiefly
with the Princeton Faculty Athletic Commit
tee. which put an end to the sports between
these universities after the football game at
Trenton in 1894. Last winter several leading
Princeton ana University OF Pennsylvania un-
dergraduates got together and attempted to
patch up the trouble. They appealed to GER
tain influential graduates. but did not meet
with much encouragement. Tho matter
never got as far as the Princeton Faculty Attn
letic Committee, but II was discussed by sew
eral members OF the Graduate Advisory Com
mittee at Old Nassau. A few days ago the
Advisory Committee held q secret meeting at
Princeton ut which. 1t Is said. the question Of
q game with the Quakers was discussed.
Nothing was given out, but certain Prince

the Faculty Athletic Committee could be So
