Everybody will be glad to hear of the final settlement of the arrangements for the Harvard-Yale game. The conference yesterday was peaceable and harmonious throughout and reflects credit on the good sense of those who had the matter in charge. As everyone expected who was familiar with the articles of agreement between the universities, there was very little discussion about the undergraduate rule. It has been perfectly clear from the beginning of the trouble over the rule that Yale had a perfect right, if she so wished, to limit her teams to undergraduate players, and that Harvard had as good a right to put any team into the field which she liked, so long as that team conformed to the agreement now in force between the universities. As the matter stands, each university will be responsible for its own action and if anything unpleasant happens each will have only itself to blame. What Yale will do in her future games with Harvard will depend very largely on the final outcome of her trouble with the other members of the Intercollegiate Association. If the undergraduate rule is voted down at some future meeting of the association Yale will have to abandon her ground. If she does this we shall probably see the teams back on the old basis, now in force at Harvard, of players from any department of the university governed by strict rules on eligibility. The time when all the teams shall be made up on a common standard will be looked for with great interest. In the mean time the matter is settled for the present year and settled apparently to the satisfaction of both universities.
