The reason for the upheaval lies in the policy of Three isolation promul- gated by Harvard, Yale and Prince- ton in the conference of their faculty Sport representatives in this city some days ago. The Big Three de- termined that they were to make their alliance stronger than ever, and that even secondary rivalries would not be tolerated. In consequence Princeton football, of this decision has dropped Dartmouth in Harvard has terminated its long track and football alliance with Cornell, and Yale is understood to have withheld an invitation to Brown to play football next season. Even the tertlary relation which Yale had with Colgate in football has been eliminated, as it was found that Col- gate had become too strong a rival and that the Yale-Colgate game was | being regarded as an annual fixture Princeton did not send the usual invitation to Dartmouth this year and filled the usual Dartmouth date, the last Saturday in October, with Col- gate. Dartmouth has not asked about the game, but it feels the treatment keenly, especially as it is said to bo to pressure exerted by Harvard, which dropped Dartmouth in foot- ball after the ga of 1912, which ¥ rvard won 0. e to Men Princeton men gretted greatly the passing of mouth as a football rival, for the Princeton-Dartmouth cont had come to be recognized as one of the Tiger's home classics. Dartmouth and Princeton played their first foot- ball game in 1907 and their last con- test was that of 1916, which the Ti- gers won by 7 to Dartmouth’s last victory was scored in 1913 by 6 to 0. There were no games between 1898 and 1902, following the Spanish- American war, so it may be that Princeton will give Dartmouth an- other after war vacation of several vears. Harvard and Cornell ball relations in 1890, and with sev- eral lapses continued through 1916. Wita the resumption of varsity foot- ball this vear Harvard was expected to invite Cornell back to Cambridge. Brown and Yale played every vear from 1893 through 1916, when Brown won by 21 to 6. Having been shut out of football relations with the Big Three, Cornell and Dartmouth some time ago looked about for new alliances and caught on readily with Pennsylvania, which has been in bad odor with Big Three elevens since it defeated Princeton in 1894, and with Columbia, once an an- nual opponent of Yale in football.
