Some decidedly interesting revelations are contained in the following editorial clipped from the Yale News. If Dr. Sargent is correctly represented it must be said that his conduct is to say the least disingenuous : "Dr. Sargent of Harvard has just been here. He came to try and perfect some arrangement by which all association with professionals and more especially professional trainers in all branches of college athletics could be done away with. He says that the Harvard athletic committee did not intend from the first to have the game with Yale given up, but only officially to show that they discountenanced the game as then played, The game that Harvard played with Princeton was so rough as to disgust some of the alumni who subsequently brought so much pressure to bear upon the committee that they were obliged to publish their letter. He positively asserted that Yale was not aimed at in the least but rather their own team. He says moreover that their main objection was that a man could strike three times with his closed fist before being disqualified. The letter be acknowledges to have been weak and misleading. He professes to be, notwithstanding all this disturbance, a strong supporter of foot-ball and considers it a better game than base-ball."
