...Camp, of Yale, thus writes to the Clipper: "The intention of the convention was to show the public that we, as players, do not regard off-side play as "cheating" or "dishonorable action" in the least; that it is a part of the play, but we limit it for the sake of the game, the same as we used to limit a pitcher in unfair delivery. Hence the rule that "A player shall be off-side but twice during a game " then, when the referee has said: "You have been off-side twice," he cannot make a third without disqualification...

Mr. E. L. Conandt, '84, in approving the action of the faculty showed how the river and Jarvis field, which should be for the use of all, had been given up to a few men, and said that athletics had extended beyond their proper sphere and needed due oversight and regulation. The debate of the regular disputants was closed...
