The immediate reaction to the announcement from Yale to the effect that Princeton was to alternate with Harvard in occupying the place of honor on Yale's football schedule was one of much discussion last night.
The only official comment came from William J. Bingham '16, director of athletics, who made the following statement: "The Yale athletic authorities have advised me of Yale's plan to play Princeton on November 28 in 1931. The arrangement of the game is a matter between Yale and Princeton alone. Harvard will play Yale as arranged previously on November 21 and will close its season on that date."
Coming on the heels of the announcement of the resumption of relations with Princeton the story from Yale has make it clear that Princeton has even more definitely committed itself to a policy of a rotating schedule. It becomes obvious that football relations between Harvard and Princeton will probably have to be taken up on that basis when they are resumed.
Crimson Policy Receives Check
It is reasonable to assume that the tactful reserve of Mr. Bingham's non-committal statement is hardly likely to be found in the comment of Harvard's undergraduates and alumni who consider the Harvard-Yale rivalry equal to none and the Crimson-Eli game the natural completion of the season. The Harvard athletic authorities' policy of emphasizing the be-all and end-all aspect of the Yale football game receives a severe check in the frank testimony of the Eli officials that their attitude is widely divergent from the Crimson point of view.
