Shortly afterwards, in early December, comes the Wa-Mei Battle (the rugby game between Waseda and Meiji University), which has a history of 68 years and which, along with the Wa-Kei Battle in June (the baseball game between Waseda and Keio University), symbolizes a traditional friendly rivalry.
緊接著十二月初，已有六十八年歷史的早明戰（早稻田和明治大學的橄欖球賽）開打，這和每年六月舉行的早慶戰（早稻田和慶應大學的棒球賽），同是象徵日本大學傳統的校際交誼精神。
