meet Stanford at the Rose
Bowl game on New Year’s

, has been tested by time”.

Princeton has an agreement
with Yale reading “no post
season contests for the pur
pose of settling sectional
or other championships,
shall be permitted.”

would adhere to the policy
even if the agreement with
Yale did not exist,
i A letter previously writ
ten by Dell to Stanford
authorities had been mis
construed as indicating thpt
Princeton might consider a
Rose Bowl bid, despite its
past policies.
