In the days when Yale used to win most of her games from Harvard, the Harvard sneer at Yale for making such a serious matter of her sports was very familiar. Harvard used to say, and try to believe, that play ought not to be made such grim work. Now that conditions are reversed, the attitude toward football, assumed or real, is reversed also. Yale takes some satisfaction in saying that Hinkey has made the game enjoyable to his men anyhow. On the other hand it is evident that Harvard now makes as serious a matter of its sports as Yale used to.

Among the high schools of Massachusetts, Harvard has something not unlike the "farms" which the professional baseball clubs have established for raising fresh players. The Harvard players go out and coach these school teams and in a Boston paper we find an interesting story of a visit by the Harvard heroes, to a Cambridge school when they made excellent speeches to the school boys. Everett, Natick and Wercester high schools have also been honored by visits from Harvard players who carried them the glory of victory and stirred the spirit of athletic emulation.

Yale has done a little in this line among the high schools of Connection but with no such success and probably without the same thoroughness. The Connection schools do not compare in athletic strength or, spirit with the Massachusetts schools around Boston. A part of the revival of the Yale spirit which is at hand, may well take the form of cultivating the sources of supply from which good athletic material is drawn.--Waterbury American.
