...Harvard and Yale, which is undesirable and not a worthy object to attain. It is surely unworthy of the two acknowledged leaders of American colleges that there should be constant bickering and unpleasantness between them. But it seems to me that the best, and, in fact, the only practicable method of doing away with the "Yaleism," or, what seems the same thing, the "muckerism" of foot-ball, is to enforce the regulation requiring the referee to disqualify a player upon a second apparently intentional violation of the rules of the game. If the referee had disqualified the Yale...
...rules adopted at the last inter-collegiate convention to prevent the old so-called "block game" were totally unavailing when put to the test. The game employed by Princeton was entirely justifiable by the rules, and under the circumstances was, without doubt, the very safest and most reasonable method she could employ. Had Harvard been in her place she would have undoubtedly used the same means to hold her advantage. But by this method should an inferior eleven chance by accident to score any point on more powerful adversaries, they might be able to hold their opponents...
...rule requiring three warnings to send a man from the foot-ball field, adopt a rule requiring only one warning; thus the Yale rushers would not be allowed two warnings without punishment, or, in other words, they could not make two fouls without being disqualified. Some such method must be adopted. We can no longer meet Yale's brutal behavior in the mild, courteous spirit which we have hitherto shown. Neither do we wish to see fulfilled the prophesy of the Yale man, who said after the game Saturday, "You call our playing a mucker game, but you will have...
...recent visitor to Williams College thus describes a recitation as conducted by the venerable Professor Mark Hopkins: "The class was one which had made a speciality of the study of the professor's book, entitled 'Outlines of the Study of Man.' The professor's method was as follows: He called one of the students by name and asked him what had been done at the recitation on the previous day. The student immediately rose and gave an interesting synopsis of the preceding lesson, and connected it with the present lesson, with the same spirit that he might have displayed...
...Yale game of foot-ball. I believe that after the exhibition given us by Yale last Saturday, that every Harvard man who wishes to keep up the tone of college athletics, will approve of any action taken by the eleven or the corporation to prevent its repetition. The only method of doing this is the extreme one of refusing to play Yale hereafter. Now that the college faculty has taken such pains to eradicate all professionalism from college athletics, I think they should go further and endeavor to keep out all "Yaleism." I do not wish to say anything against...
