...Faculty, therefore, we must frame our arguments, in an effort to maintain the present status of our major sports and at the same time to preserve the minor ones. As a last resort it is necessary to show that the proper move is against real athletic abuses, and not against the extent of participation...
...game became faster and more exciting than at any time in the first half. Although Harvard's team-work was much better and its offense good, the men could not break up their opponents' strong defense. The Dartmouth players passed with more precision and forced the University team to resort to a defensive game, which the visiting team broke up continually as basket after basket was thrown. The game ended after Brady had made four goals in quick succession almost unaided, and with the score standing 28 to 13 in Dartmouth's favor...
During the season of the year when a great many sports are at a low ebb, and the weather hardly permits of any out-door amusement, an unusually large number of men resort to the Gymnasium for exercise-to a Gymnasium not only absolutely inadequate, both in arrangement and equipment, but in its pro sent condition unsanitary to the last degree.

...yard rule is excellent to make the offense resort to the open plays; the limiting of the number of men behind the line has the same effect. Without the onside kick and forward pass, however, the first two changes would be useless, for the only open play then available would be the long kick or quarterback kick. As originator of the onside kick rule I may possibly be prejudiced; but it seems that it would be a grave mistake to go back to the rule allowing the back field men to let a ball bounce around on the ground...
