Harvard has recently taken a very dignified position in regard to athletics, and a position which, in view of the absolute certainty with which we could predict sneers from hostile newspapers, was a courageous one. The existing football league, not seeming to afford auspices under which good square football could be played, Harvard withdrew. Our action appears all the more admirable when contrasted with Yale's hesitancy in taking what she has already committed herself to saying is a right step, This hesitancy is caused by the very factors that we scorned to fear, i. e., misrepresentation and abuse...

A suspension of the privilege of the library for one month will be the penalty in the first instance, and if that is not effective, such penalty as may be necessary to protect the rights of waiting borrowers will be additionally imposed.

...game as played this year than as played in previous years. It is also true that interference has added much to the interest of the game from a spectator's standpoint, and a great many real lovers of the game would be sorry to see it forbidden. There is one species of offside play, however, which we will all agree should be abolished, and that is interference with the ball while it is being put in play. The rushers are allowed entirely too much license in this respect now, and the result is disagreeable and unnecessary delay of the game...
