...cannot be denied that the spirit of this rule is almost never complied with in football games, though the audible coaching of players is a rare occurrence. When every substitute who is sent into a game bears a message to the team, and when, as sometimes is the case, the only reason for a change of players is the opportunity for giving instructions to the quarterback, there is a very evident departure from the intent of the rule. Frequently, too, instructions are given as in baseball by the position of a coach or player on the bench. Given two teams...
...current Advocate is fairly saturated with football, from the editorials and the leading article down to the inevitable "he and she" version of the great game. The leading article, by Mr. W. D.

Few will, I think, agree with him. In my opinion, at any rate, cheating in examinations is so rare as to be almost negligible. Nor ought there to be a sense of humiliation because of the presence of a proctor; he is there to protect the honest against the unfair competition of the possibly dishonest. To call that "espionage" is, it seems to me, improper; as well take offence at the mildly inquiring...
