...former regulations of the faculty requiring "continuous residence at the University during term-time" has proved to be so easily infringed that it has been deemed best to make the rules on this point more stringent than ever before. Accordingly, the rules as changed now require that the student shall reside continuously at Cambridge, that notice must always be given for absences which will result in cuts, and that a student who is away longer than three days must always see the secretary at his return, to show that he is back and to explain the cause of his absence...

No umpire can bee too harsh in ruling upon striking, nor indeed upon actual foul tackling; but seizing a man at his hips is perfectly fair and legitimate, as is also seizing him about the head, providing he be not choked. So hard has been...

It is understood, however, that six balls instead of seven will be all allowed to a pitcher, while the rules on balks will be made more stringent by inflicting heavier penalties for the violation of them. The question of coaching did not come up for discussion...
