IO THE EDITOB OF "THK rRE33.'' V Sir, —In your "historical note" on x tho College-High School football V matches, you state that for some years S in. tho early (eighties these contests * wero confined to second fifteens. I luvvo *<f« no records to refer to, and am writing j-: from memory, which may have played mo false. At the same time, I seeni i ' to havo a vivid recollection of cither in ij, 1885 or 1886 playing for tho College sectfnd fifteen against tho High School first fifteen, and I fancy that it was on t'.' these lines that all tho inter-schonl matches wero arranged imtil well on f i in tho oighties.—Yours, etc.. R. I'
