Not until two actual football teams composed of Princeton and Harvard graduates actually meet in the Yankee Stadium will the report of the game scheduled for October 30 be more than half-believed. To arrange the teams is a difficult project for even C. C. Pyle. If played, the game will doubtless be a financial success, and will attract wide publicity. It will do nothing, however, toward "burying the hatchet" between Princeton and Harvard. For the hatchet has been buried ever since the break eleven months ago, and the resumption of athletic relations must await the time when a Princeton-Harvard undergraduate contest will not cause the reappearance of this weapon. For graduates of one college to play football with graduates of another college may or may not be enjoyable for the gentlemen concerned, and may or may not give pleasure to the thousands who come to spend an autumn Sunday afternoon watching them play Just what excitement the average spectator could get out of such a pointless game is difficult to conceive. Neither college is interested in the affair, neither undergraduate body sees it in the light of an inter-collegiate contest. It is a private matter concerning only the possible players and promoters.
