The football season is rand there has not been an important game but what has upset the calculations of fol- lowers of the game. Harvard is unbeat- en, and Princeton only beaten once. Those are the best records, and as those teams did not play each other, and as Harvard did not play the team that beat Princeton, and as Princeton did play and beat the team that tied Harvard, you can suit yourself as to the best eleven. Yale failed to win in three games, and University of Pennsylvania lost several. So much for the Big Four, and as to the minor teams-Cor- nell, the conqueror of Princeton, has lost three games, and Columbia, who beat Yale, has been beaten three. Last Thursday Cornell was beaten by U. of F., 29 to 0, and Columbia was beaten by the Carlisle Indians, 45 to o.

Worthy of Respect.

When the South African war is ended the Englishmen will have more respect for the Boers than when the war began.
 After the battle of Gras Pan. General Methuen read telegram from Gov. Hilner congratulating the troops and sympathizing with the wounded. Gen. eral Methuen personally congratulated the troops on the work done and ex- pressed appreciation of the manner in which they had endured the hardships. The work. he said, was the most severe encountered by the British army for many long day. They had in front of them, he added, an enemy to whom they could not afford to give a single point. Their tactics had been excellent and he recognized and admired their courage. Continuing, Gen. Methuen said that when called upon to fight for his country, he preferred to fight foe worthy of his steel, than savages whose sole recommendation was bravery"
 A dispatch from Estcourt dated No vember 27 said that General Joubert was "trsveling in an omnibus drawn by six horses and was hurrying back to Colsnso to oppose Colonel Baden. Powell" Thus it seems that the Boers must command the respect of English men in two ways. First, as being foe- men worthy of an Englishman's steel Second, for the style in which Boer general travels, viz., with a coach and six. That beats "a coach and four" for style.
 But laying aside all facetiousness in regard to style of travelling, we will say that thus far the Boers have outgeneral- cd the Englisbmen and have shown re- markable strategy as well as bravery and have not lost single piece of ar tillery. The Boers have put up series of brilliant battles and only retreat when discretion is the better part of valor.
