Today, for the first time in sixteen years, a Princeton team comes to face a Harvard team at Cambridge. That the visitors will prove redoubtable adversaries is certain. Princeton has shown a remarkable development this year and, up to date, has scored far more points on her opponents than Harvard. But, apart from the uncertain test of comparative scores there appears little to choose between the two teams. In fact, the most noticeable feature in a comparison between them is the close similarity of their merits and defects. Both backfields have displayed the same consistent, and at times spectacular, ability, and both rush lines have shown the same uncertainty in both offensive and defensive work. In the games with Brown and Dartmouth last Saturday both teams showed the same urgent need of more practice in tackling. Predictions as to the result of a game between two teams so evenly matched are practically impossible; but there can be no doubt that it will be unusually interesting and spectacular. Our confidence in our team remains unshaken, for we realize its ability and fighting spirit, and we feel that the memory of last year's defeat will help to arouse the players to their greatest efforts.

We cannot but be glad to meet again so able, and withal so friendly a rival as Princeton has proved herself to be. We hope that the renewal of relations will long continue a source of congratulation to both Princeton and Harvard, and to the visiting eleven and its supporters we join in extending our heartiest welcome.
