EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :- You published in your columns on Tuesday a clipping from the N. Y. Herald which represents several graduates of Princeton as contending that, had it not been for the referee's decision in ruling off Cowan for foul tackling in Saturday's game, the orange and black would undoubtedly have won the day. These gentlemen seem to have forgotten that one of our men was ruled off for precisely the same fault. If foot-ball players cannot obey the rules set down by the Inter-collegiate Foot-Ball Association, those rules provide that such players shall be ruled off the field. It is all very well for these gentlement to claim that the foul tackle was an accident, or did not happen at all, but it is a poor excuse to attribute the loss of the same to the decision of a referee who is an acklowledged authority on matters pertaining to foot-ball. As a matter of fact, at the very time when Cowan was ruled off, our men had approached very near to Princeton 's goal, and they showed in this instance and throughout the entire game that, crippled as they were, they were too strong for the Princeton men. The excuse offered amounts to saying that they would undoubtedly have won if they had not been beaten-which none of us can deny; we can only suggest that there might have been a tie. But joking aside, there seems to be but little ground for such a sweeping assertion. I write this the more frankly because I believe the majority of Princeton men admit that at least they were overmatched, and Harvard's relations with Princeton have always been the pleasanter for the universal manliness with which the Jersey men accept defeat, when fortune wills that it shall be theirs.

JUSTITIA.
