From the beginning of the freshman year Yale men are forced to learn and practice the mean and unfair methods which have become known universally as "Yale tricks." The new freshmen on the foot-ball field are daily cuffed, thumped and trampled upon until, in their desperation, they retaliate and finally learn to play the game which meets the condemnation of every one except a few "Yale supporters," who follow the team about, forced by the public opinion of their college to wave the blue handkerchiefs, sport the blazing society pins, and applaud the "thug like" playing which is greeted...

It appears, furthermore, that the faculty has no power to grant the desired extension. All that they can do is to consider the matter and send the petition with their recommendation to the corporation and board of overseers, who will grant it or not, as they see fit.
