EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: If it is in order to make another suggestion in addition to what was proposed by your contributor of Tuesday, in regard to the matter of foot-ball playing with Yale, I should like to make one through your columns. The proposition to refuse to play hereafter with Yale seems too severe and impracticable, from various reasons. It would put an end to the College Foot-ball League, in so much that Harvard and Princeton and Princeton and Yale would play together in separate leagues. Then it would be influential towards making foot-ball unpopular here, as Princeton would remain the only college able to compete with Harvard. It would, moreover, tend to intensify the unfriendly feeling already to some extent existing between Harvard and Yale, which is undesirable and not a worthy object to attain. It is surely unworthy of the two acknowledged leaders of American colleges that there should be constant bickering and unpleasantness between them. But it seems to me that the best, and, in fact, the only practicable method of doing away with the "Yaleism," or, what seems the same thing, the "muckerism" of foot-ball, is to enforce the regulation requiring the referee to disqualify a player upon a second apparently intentional violation of the rules of the game. If the referee had disqualified the Yale men who intentionally violated rules to gain the game last Saturday, they would soon have been led to have some respect for the proprieties of the game. And if hereafter this rule be strictly enforced, the ungentlemanly and unmanly exhibitions, such as were witnessed last Saturday, could be effectually put an end to. Otherwise. Yale will probably show the same spirit next year. She seems now to be unable to appreciate what a spectacle her players made last week, for, if she did appreciate it, she would have already shown it by apologizing through her press. The fact is her papers seem to uphold their team's conduct, which naturally leads one into serious doubts as to what must be the status of society at Yale.
