Foot ball, as played by our college elevens, is a very different game from the foot-ball of England. And, in fact, there are two kinds of foot-ball over there. Those who play the Association game think there is nothing like it as a scientific and exciting sport, while the Rugby players are just as devoted to their style of game...
...matches in a week are quite enough for a player. The best ones are all professionals, and get paid by the match. I have got L2 for a match when it was a big one, but L1 is good wages for a game.

But of course it is much to early too make any definite forecasts about the nine, and it will...
...estimates of the club; and if they cannot be provided for before they are incurred, it is the opinion of this committee that they should not be incurred at all. We believe it to be the only safe policy for each year to bear its own expenses; and we think that, if the club cannot raise money to pay the expenses of the launch, it ought not to be put into service this year. The Base-Ball Association has offered to give the Boat Club $1,000 of its surplus; and this committee has approved of the gift on condition...
