...gratifying to find that cricket is steadily increasing its hold on the youth of the United States. Harvard University seems to be doing good work just now in its efforts to develop the game by its permanent introduction into the collegiate institutions of America.

"Rushes" and hazing are two "sports" that all sensible men wish to see abolished. There is nothing amusing or instructive or smart about them.
