SENSIBLE MANAGEMENT.

The University notes with pleasure the inclusion of Tufts on its football schedule for 1919. Considerable surprise has been expressed for some time at the failure of the football management to place this old rival on the list of our opponents.

Where two colleges are situated so near to each other, there is no sensible reason why they should not compete in athletics. A great amount of the unnecessary expenses incurred by intercollegiate sports is due to the attempt to place distant and novel teams on the schedules. Conservatism in this direction is and ought to be encouraged.

Harvard must start out after the war with a clean slate, and by dint of careful management create a circle of natural athletic friendships. Meeting the other fellow half-way must be our motto. And if the addition of this game to the schedule, helps to dispel the illusion, still prevalent, that the University wishes to play only two difficult matches a season, it will serve its purposes. Harvard is only too glad to have the opportunity of blotting out the memory of Tufts' victory in 1916.
