The decision of the convention on last Saturday evening in New York seems as a whole to be satisfactory and fair to both colleges. It is better to have no championship whatever than to have an unfair one, and make the already strong feeling between the colleges still stronger. It would have been unfair to award the championship to Yale on the strength of the Yale-Princeton game, for the weather, the condition of the ground and the darkness during the last half would not permit the strong points of either team to be brought out. At the same time, to stop the game twenty minutes before the full time had expired took away many chances, and perhaps a deciding touchdown. It would be difficult for an impartial judge to decide which team played the better game during the first three-quarters, and the second half of the game was not foot-ball, but simply twenty-two men skating about on Jersey mud in the darkness. And yet on the other hand Yale made a larger score throughout the fall than Princeton, and has beaten her opponents each time more easily. It therefore seems somewhat unfair to make absolutely no distinction between the two, and we think the convention in its two resolutions has perhaps done the best thing it could. Yale certainly has not won the championship of 1886 and yet she has played a better game of foot-ball than any other college in the league.
