Four touchdowns are equal to a goal, and it would be well to make four safety touchdowns equal to a regular touchdown, thereby giving the attacking side the right to try at goal whenever the defensive side had touched down for safety four times.

The chairman reported that he had received favorable letters from Dartmouth and the University of Virginia, and had reason to expect equally encouraging replies from Cornell, Union and the University of California, by whose acquisition a total sum of $3500 would be pledged for the annual expenses of the school for ten successive years. It was also reported that the good offices of the United States government had been obtained, and that...
