No Harvard-Princeton Game.
Princeton and Harvard have not yet
been able to complete negotiations for
a foot ball game next fall. A few weeks
ago the statements from Princeton that a
game would be played were very posi-
tive. But since then nothing definite
has been announced. In order to schedule
this game Harvard must offend Brown,
Cornell or Dartmouth. A few years ago
retaining the Indians. SO that Cornell
could be played. But Browns Boston
alumni made such a fuss over the pro-
posal chat Harvard dropped the Indians
instead. This fall, when 1t was suggested
that Dartmouth be dropped. the Boston
alumni of Dartmouth made a fearful
protest, and Harvard is understood to
have assured Dartmouth that she could
have the game as usual.
Now, If Princeton is to be played 1t
means that Harvard must drop Cornell
1t is pretty certain that Harvard will
think long time before doing this.
During the two years that Harvard and
Cornell have been playing Cornell has
not given Harvard much of fight. but
the Ithacans have student body more
than twice the size of that of Princeton.
and in the long run are sure to be bet
ter athletic ally than Princeton.
Just now there is considerable talk OF
resumption of foot ball relations be-
tween Pennsylvania and Princeton. w.
w. Roper, the Princeton coach and ath
letic director. has been quoted as saying
that he would like to see Pennsylvania
and Princeton meeting every year, and
an intercollegiate league of Pennsylvania,
Princeton, Harvard and Yale This is
the dream of a good many people, but
there is little prospect of it's becoming
reality within the next few years.
