The action of the Yale athletes toward the engagement of a professional trainer at the very moment of our discomfiture is another incentive to sustain our past eminence in general athletics. Not that we feel any great need of new vigor, but we know that the newly adopted regime will inevitably make itself felt before long, unless we have pride and perseverance enough of our own to fight against all obstacles. Hitherto Columbia has always been our recognized rival for the cup, and Yale has exhibited a singular indifference to this branch of sports. Now the advent of a new opponent promises to render the issue closer and more exciting, and our self-assurance stands in need of a good winter's work.
