NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At a mass meeting in Princeton College, Wednesday, the following officers of the Foot-ball Association were elected: Thomas B. Hamilton, class of '88, president; J. R. Barr, class of '89, secretary and treasurer. Wm. J. Cook, class of '89, captain of the team, spoke in favor of Princeton withdrawing from the present intercollegiate league, and uniting with Harvard and Yale in a new one. Prof. Johnson was introduced, and advocated the plan for the purpose of making a more compact league, associating the three leading universities more closely, formulating good rules and eliminating undesirable features. Capt. Larkin of the base-ball nine and others made strong speeches in favor of the proposition. R. B. Bradford, class of '87, introduced a resolution that the delegates to the convention of the intercollegiate foot-ball convention on Saturday be instructed to withdraw Princeton, and form a league with Harvard, at any rate, and with Yale, if the latter be willing, and to immediately after hold a convention to draw up a constitution and by-laws, playing rules to be adopted in May. The resolution was unanimously passed. This will leave out Wesleyan College and the University of Pennsylvania on championship games, but exhibition games will be played with them. - Herald.
