THE foot-ball game with Yale has been definitely settled in a way that will meet the approval of all Harvard men. Captain Cushing recently wrote down to Yale, fixing last Tuesday as the latest date to which he was willing to postpone the final decision about the game. A letter was sent in reply, asking him to meet the Yale captain in New Haven on Tuesday. Accordingly Captain Cushing went to Yale, and tried to arrange a match. Yale urged as her excuse for not playing with a fifteen that she had only eleven men in college who knew the rules. As they were the champions this year, they thought they had the right of insisting on the game they preferred. They admitted that we had the same right last year, and they considered that it was a mark of courtesy in us to yield to them: but now they refuse to extend us the same courtesy. To the fact brought forward by our captain, that all the colleges of the Association had agreed to play with a fifteen, they replied that they had understood we were training an eleven only, though they owned that the information came from no authoritative source. Captain Cushing at last said he would not play them this year, with either fifteen or eleven men, and he has expressed the sentiment of the College. The game with fifteen has various advantages that cannot be mentioned here; it is the game the principal colleges wish to play, and Yale admits that she must, and is willing to, come to it next year. We hope she may succeed, between now and then, in collecting together from the entire University fifteen men who know the rules.
