Last Saturday the lambs were led to slaughter. The Varsity took a few laps up and down the Stadium turf. A small college team went home wondering what it was all about. Buffalo could undoubtedly do very well against a team of its own class, but in this case it failed miserably. The competition was as sports-man-like as a match between Jack Sharkey and any average fly weight fighter--and a little less interesting for players and spectators. Buffalo can like it wounds with the knowledge that the demands of the Buffalo Harvard Club have been satisfied.

Arthur Sampson said recently in the Herald that "a tough early season game often is a blessing in disguise--when weak opposition allows improperly timed plays to look good there is nothing gained toward development." Thus from a purely football point of view, the game was even worse than worthless. Sampson says again that in set-up games "there is no indication of faults which need correction, and the pressure of major competition brings these weaknesses to light too late to do any good." The game was then absolutely indefensible with regard to fair play and value to the team. If the Harvard Athletic Association continues to satisfy the alumni with regard to the football schedule, let it be at least, with teams as strong as the Junior Varsity.
