petition Yale and Harvard are not
geographical rivals, because there are
other large schools, which if proximity
governed would be rivals Of each. But
Yale and Harvard are rivals of old,
the two institutions being Two Of the
Oldest in the country. They first play
ed each other in 1875, ana without the
annual game to look forward to. the
season would hardly be considered as
worth while to either. Cornell ana

games have been played. OF these Yale

its best against Harvard. Then too, {
