Considerable dissatisfaction is felt among the foot-ball enthusiasts at New Haven at the manner in which they think Yale was treated at the recent inter-collegiate foot-ball convention in New York. The feeling here is that Princeton, Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania joined forces and advanced a proposition to the effect that Yale should play Harvard at Cambridge and Princeton at Princeton. They argued that as Harvard had a new and inexperienced team, it was no more than fair that Yale should give them the benefit of playing on their own grounds, and that as Princeton had come to New Haven to play Yale, last fall, it was simple justice for Yale to go to Princeton this year. The Yale men offer no objection to the first proposition, but say emphatically they will not entertain the second. Last year the Princeton faculty forbade the foot-ball team to play at the Polo Grounds in New York, or in fact anywhere, except on college grounds. As Yale held the championship, the game was of course played in New Haven. But the Yale men declare this by no means furnishes a precedent for playing the next game at Princeton.
The edict of the Princeton faculty against playing in New York is still in force, but it is understood here that they are willing to revoke it, from the fact that last fall's game was entirely devoid of unnecessary rough play, or serious accidents. It is the intention of the Yale men to maintain their present position with respect to this matter, and they have announced that under no circumstances will they consent to play both Princeton and Harvard at the home grounds of these colleges. - Boston Globe.
