...rules adopted at the last foot-ball convention in regard to the block game seem likely to answer their purpose exactly. It was plain during the last season's contests that victories would likely be very much the result of chance unless the safety touch was made to enter into the final score. And it naturally followed that this would make the best basis from which to reckon higher scores. A touchdown now equals two, a goal from the field five, and a goal from a touchdown six safeties.

We do not feel prepared to enter into a discussion of this much-vexed question. But of one thing we feel quite certain - that most of those who are competent to judge do still uphold the elective system. We cannot believe that "a large portion of the alumni of Harvard" condemn it, whatever opinions the superior wisdom...
