...their line in front of their runner, and as he comes forward to open his path by turning away from one another at the instant he comes, the abuse of such tactics is wrong, and it never is, and never can be, good foot-ball to not only push and drag rushers out of the way, but even to butt, seize and pull to one side ends and halves who are running across to tackle. It is no exaggeration to say that this is, even now, not the exception, but almost the custom, in spite of the rulings...

...inner side of the cross-walk. The freshmen then march along the sidewalk and are rushed into the street by the sophomores. The freshmen then regain the walk and go along by the side of the fence hand over hand.

"Elmwood" shows one side of Lowell's home with a view...

...than all, snobbishness. What is a man does assert himself too forcibly or is a trifle "fresh?" It is not a vital fault. Why suppress him? It is not always the blase or the brainless however that bray: "What an ass!" Many a man while secretly admiring independence and push, joins in with the popular chorus against the offender. Few undergraduates have any idea how childish and inane this spirit of repression appears to men outside of the college...
