...necessary changes in the rules at the convention of the Intercollegiate Association, and then let the game be played next fall under the new rules. When it has been found that the objectionable features of the game can not be done away with, then it is time enough to think of prohibiting the game. Something more, however, than the bare assumption of the committee is needed to prove that suitable and sufficient changes cannot be made. Any action by the Committee or by the Faculty which shall prohibit intercollegiate foot ball, without allowing us the chance to remove the objectionable...
...would take away more objectionable features, and that if sweeping enough changes could be made, all objections to the game would be removed. The Committee assert that such changes can not or will not be made. How does the Committee know this?

Saturday, Nov. 15 and the morning of the day before Thanksgiving were the only times Yale would even think of playing. About three days before the 15th, we received a telegram saying, "Will play Saturday or not at all." This was the first hint we had that they even thought of that date. Of course on such short notice we declined, inasmuch as we were in no sort of condition...
