To the victor belong the goal posts providing he can take them away.

Brown defeated Harvard at the stadium. Quite naturally, Brown men from among the spectators swooped to the field to carry away the posts.

Harvard men, undoubtedly aided by men who never saw the inside of a Harvard classroom, rallied in time to save one remaining upright at the steel-stand end of the field. The fight lasted for nearly as hour, with Harvard victorious in the lumber business if not in the pig skin industry that day.

As post-game battles go, it was not too gory. Only the usual disgusting drunks were obnoxious. Incidentally, the Boston police interfered only when assault and battery became too strong. The gendarmes were intelligently directed by somebody.

We feel that winning visitors should be permitted to take the posts without opposition to take the posts without opposition, but confess we may be wrong. But, particularly in a game so cleanly and decisively won as that of Saturday, it would have been an act of good sportsmanship to lot the Brown men carry off the kindling unmolested. The chief charm of football is its good sportsmanship. The Saturday aftermath was not pleasingly fragrant. -Boston Traveller.
