As we look at the question of another game to decide the championship, it certainly seems as if neither Yale nor Princeton has acted in the happiest manner. Princeton sent a telegram at eleven o'clock, which, as she explained in a later message, must be answered within an hour. As the question involved was one that could not possibly be answered off-hand, the natural inference would be that Princeton was not especially desirous of having an extra game, but wished to throw the responsibility for an unsettled championship upon Yale. This may not be the case; but it is a fair inference from the facts before us. On the other hand, it is certainly unfortunate that Yale should have neglected to answer a communication of such importance, even if her reply had been merely to state that the first telegram had not been received in time to take action upon it.
