THE Yale Football Association have just come out with a letter in the Boston Herald, explaining their position, and declaring that the championship belongs to them. The facts of the case are certainly such that Yale must have the sympathy of every fair-minded observer; for she had the best team in the field, and won by actual play one more game than Princeton did. But, until it is definitely decided in a formal convention whether Columbia forfeited its game of November 20 or not, we do not see how the title Yale claims can be allowed to her. If Princeton, after giving up (in the formal meeting at New York) all claim to the forfeit game with Columbia, and after agreeing to play a deciding game in place of it, now renews her attempt to take advantage of the for feiture, she does what she has a right to do, but not what we should expect of Princeton. [This is written without any further knowledge of Princeton's action than can be obtained from Yale's letter in the Boston Herald of January 11.]
