Due allowance must be made to our correspondent from Princeton for college feeling and college pride. Nevertheless, we can easily gather from his letter that Princeton is making a tremendous "brace" for the championship at football. Her men are working hard and if, as he says, Moffat, their wonderful kicker, who is now a post-graduate, should consent to play, their team would indeed be a strong one, and one which our eleven will have hard work to defeat. His opinion of Yale is clearly partisan. But even he admits that Yale is playing an active game and the large scores which Yale has made in all her games up to date certainly show that her men know how to score, which is the essential in winning games. Our team showed in its game with Pennsylvania that it was able to keep the ball at Pennsylvania's end of the field a large part of the time, but even when close to their line our men seemed unable to make anything practical out of this advantageous position, i. e., they were unable to score. Moreover, when the ball approached their own end of the field the play of our team was usually very unsteady, and such unsteadiness, aided in that particular game by decisions of the referee, cost us the game. We must earn to score and in all future practice and all games hereafter particular attention ought to be given by the university eleven to this most important feature of the game. Loosing the ball after it has been carried close up to the opposite goal line, or making a careless punt out or kick for goal are altogether too common with our men and are the reasons why we so often fail to make a decent score when playing much the better game.

The lack of steadiness when playing a defensive game should likewise receive attention, for it is when playing such a game, being on your own end of the field, that any little slip or carelessness is so costly. A mistake made at the other end of the field can more be easily rectified, but any error on defense is liable to loose the game at any moment.

After a fortnight of steady work on the part of the gentlemen composing the various committees appointed to make arrangements for the grand parade of tonight, everything is now brought into working order, and we expect our division of the parade to be again, as in years past, the most unique and interesting feature of the whole affair. It is certain that the preparations for the event which have been made this year by the college are on a far more elaborate scale than ever before. Whether this is advisable or not is an open question; but that the Harvard brigade will be met with an ovation on its march admits of no doubt. There is some uncertainty as to the result of attempting to divide the classes into companies or of making any pretence of marching in military style. It is a certainty, however, that, as the evening progresses the maneuvers will become more and more complicated, so that the final condition of the column will be as chaotic as the most conservative could wish. At any rate, let us all take hold with a will, irrespective of our political creeds, and make this demonstration a complete success. It is the last chance most of us will have of marching in the Harvard brigade, and we have but ourselves to blame if the occasion is not a most memorable one in our college lives.
