Friendly eating matches also might be improvised between the tables and would form a source of no little...

But to us the inability to play with any amateurs otherwise than those of colleges places us at a serious disadvantage, on account of our practical isolation from athletic colleges. Too much stress cannot be laid on this objection to the third resolution...
