But most of all are we indebted to you for sending over a 'ome team of your brave professionals to play the match against our Parisian "_onze_," for you rightly conjectured that by our experience of the formidable game in action, we should be able to judge of its risks and dangers, and after mature investigation be able so to revise and ameliorate the manner of its playing as to bring it into harmony with the taste and feeling of the athletic ambition of the rising generation of our young France.
