Early this autumn the committee's attention was drawn forcibly to the fact that to disqualify a player three warnings were necessary, and that several elevens were making a practice of playing unfairly and, in some cases, brutally. Knowing that each player could do so twice with impunity, the committee rightly felt that foot-ball played with this spirit ought to be checked, and so far every right-minded student will agree...
...Harvard student tells a Boston journalist that he does not think it fair that the college should be censured for the occasional public disorder of some of the young fellows studying there. He states what is doubtless the fact, that there are only a few of the "men" given to this sort of thing, and that their conduct ought not to be made to reflect upon the entire university.

When this is done, if the faculty still see any grounds for objecting to foot ball as at present played, we do not doubt that reform measures can be adopted, which may even receive foreign...
...endeavoring to make arrangements for playing the game at Springfield, and we hope this place will meet with no objection on the part of Yale. This discussion, however, may be entirely irrelevant on account of the recent eccentric action of the athletic committee of the faculty, but we think the above explanation is due to the earnest endeavors of the freshman to arrange this game...
