...reason and, in truth, there is no reason - except our own lack of business enterprise - why we should not get the same accommodations from the railroads that other colleges get. All that is necessary, in this matter, as it seems to me, is to lay the question in its proper light before the railroad authorities; and, I think, we shall receive a satisfactory reply. But who is going to submit the question? It might be done by petition, or better, if some member of the faculty would kindly consent to confer with the railroad officials. For the solicitation...
...that we were beaten even by their team at foot-ball; but there is soon to be a return match, and we hope to retrieve ourselves. To be sure there is not much glory in defeating a Rutgers team, but it is certainly preferable to being defeated by them, except perhaps, for the fun we of the college press would gather from reading their indiscribable sheet for the next few years, when every number would contain some allusion to "the time we licked Columbia...

The English Association rules admit of no handling of the ball in "carrying" it - as in the case of a "run in" - "passing" it, throwing it or of "knocking on;" that is, batting it with the hands. It can only be kicked, except it goes out of bounds. Goals scored by a kick alone count in this game, there being no touchdowns in the score, and no goal can be scored from a "free kick." Under the Rugby rules a goal can be scored by any kind of a kick except that of a "punt...
