Commenting on the Mott Haven games, the Yale News says: "In the one hundred yards dash, Yale's representative came in ahead by several feet, yet through the carelessness of the judges, two of whom were 'not looking,' the event was given to Harvard. The referee has no power to decide, except in cases where the judges disagree, so the decision was made by one judge, and that judge - a Harvard graduate! The referee, the large majority of the spectators, the members of the Harvard team itself, conceded that the event belonged to Yale. The decision that was made is not only a positive wrong to us, but also an injustice to the so-called victors."

This mark of temper on the part of Yale is very discouraging. We had been led to believe that she would now take such occurrences as that of Saturday with good grace, and not attempt a slur upon the officers of the Mott Haven games, and we are sorry that we could be so mistaken. The charge made that the 100 yards dash was decided by but one of the three judges, is preposterous. To say that, in as close and exciting a contest as the one in question was, two of the judges were "not looking," must surely seem absurd. It was, at any rate, entirely unnecessary to declaim against the decision of the "one judge" on the ground that he was a Harvard graduate. The statement that the members of the Harvard team admitted that Yale had won the event has absolutely no foundation, and is evidently a foolish, partisan exaggeration. No stress can be laid on the fact that the Yale men carried their representative off the field, for that action was certainly premature, and, as was proved by the decision of the judges, had no foundation in fact.

We are sorry that the News has seen fit to take exception to the result of Saturday's games, as nothing can be gained for Yale by that action, except a reputation for disgruntled acceptance of defeat.
