...silver had been the people's money. Miners on the whole do not make money, and therefore it cannot be objection-able to protect them. Mr. W. Wells, '90, closed the debate.

It is also true that interference has added much to the interest of the game from a spectator's standpoint, and a great many real lovers of the game would be sorry to see it forbidden. There is one species of offside play, however, which we will all agree should be abolished, and that is interference with the ball while it is being put in play. The rushers are allowed entirely too much license...
