...Virgin Man", and "The Captive" have been found just too low-down for the New York Police Department to countenance. Managers of all three plays violently protest their innocence, and rejoice. Padlocking is better publicity than full page advertisements in every newspaper in New York. "The Drag", which is advertised as "the male captive" was allowed to run only two days in Bridgeport.

One may be sure that if Harvard had won her games with Princeton, nothing would have been heard of "dirty" football. In the irritation that was inflamed by several defeats, rough play became distorted by some into foul play and suspicion into charges which the Harvard men have been quick...
