...with plenty of food for reflection, and unpleasant reflection it cannot fail to be. The University Boat Club is supported by the subscriptions of the students, and it has always been supposed that some provision is made for the aquatic exercise desired by those who are not members of either of the five regular crews. Yet what is the real state of matters? A glance at the array of craft tucked away upon the brackets discloses the fact that, aside from the shells and barges belonging to the regular crews, there is not a boat obtainable in which a student...

...perusal of the above changes, it will be found that the referee is given almost unlimited power; he can declare the ball "down" whenever he sees fit, disqualify a player for off-side or unnecessarily rough play, and declare a game forfeited if either side should seek to gain anything by delay. He is absolute, no one can question his decisions, and he is unhampered by judges. With the proper man as referee, there is no reason why the game should not be entirely freed from its objectionable features...
