In our account of the game Thursday we spoke rather severely of Newton, a Pennsylvania man, whose work with Brewer seemed to us at the time decidedly questionable. We have since been reassured by Captain Waters that Newton did nothing out of the way and that if he in any way hurt Brewer it was entirely unintentional on his part. We are very glad to free Newton from the charge of ungentlemanly playing because we can now assert with the greatest confidence and with unalloyed pleasure the Pennsylvania's whole attitude was as manly and sportsmanlike as could have been desired. We have learned of two or three little things that happened during the game which strengthens us in our good opinion of her team. After Emmons was hurt, and while he was so dazed that he had little idea of what he was doing, he used his fists much too freely, especially on Knipe, the Pennsylvania halfback. Instead of making this an excuse for "slugging," Captain Mackey simply suggested that Emmons was not in condition to continue playing and that he ought to be taken off the field. Emmons was taken off the field and the matter thus terminated without any hard feeling. Captain Mackey shut his eyes to what might easily have been looked upon as an invitation to slugging, and proved himself a man. We speak of these things not with any desire to make them prominent, but simply because the morale of an eleven is best shown by just such little, inconspicuous acts. The pennsylvania men showed themselves gentlemen, worthy of respect and admiration and we are heartily glad of our new relations with them.

A university for women is to be established soon in Germany.

On account of the weather the hare and hounds run scheduled for yesterday was postponed until next Tuesday.
