After the adjournment of the football convention held in New York on Saturday evening, there was, as is well known, intense dissatisfaction at the indefinite decision made as to the Yale Princeton game. The Princeton men were naturally most of all dissatisfied, and, as their action shows, were desirous of meeting Yale in a contest where there could be no possible doubt as to the winners. So the following challenge was sent to Yale:
To Captain Corwin of the Yale football team:
DEAR SIR: - As the convention has decided to award no championship for 1886, I hereby challenge the Yale team to play the Princeton team on Saturday next, at the New York Polo Ground, at 2.30 p.m. Capt. W. A. Brooks of Harvard, referee.
H.S. SAVAGE,Capt. of the Princeton foot-ball team.
The general feeling seemed to be that Yale would not accept the challenge, Yale pointing to the fact that the game had been played on Princeton's ground with a Princeton referee, and that the delay caused by Princeton, both before and during the game was the only cause which prevented the game being played out, felt that the championship virtually belonged to her.
Action was to be taken by Yale on Monday. At a late hour last night no reply had been received by the CRIMSON to a telegram sent to the Yale News.
