Stated meeting of the overseers today.

We clip the following from the editorial columns of the Princetonian : "There is an impression prevalent in college that our foot-ball team is not faithfully living up to that rigid course of training which alone is calculated to develop the powers of the men to their full and legitimate extent. Our own opinion, justified by occasional remarks of some members of the team, is that several players are not doing their duty. It is a shame, but nevertheless a fact, that some men will work harder and train more faithfully before the team is chosen and when there is free competition, than after they have secured their places. They treat it as an individual matter, where only their own interests are at stake. So long as they are able, even though in an indifferent condition of body, to maintain their superiority over rival aspirants, they are satisfied. With them it is a matter of comparison between their plaving and that of the substitutes who are ambitious to supersede them. Their maxim is, 'play better than the first substitute, and that is enough.' If that can be done without severe and faithful training, so much the more of a snap for them. While we think that probably most of the irregularities are committed thoughtlessly and without consideration of the consequence, we are certain, on the other hand, that in some instances systematic deception is practiced upon the foot-ball authorities."
