...pugilism. The plays when the teams line up against each other are so close that it is extremely difficult for an umpire to see all that goes on. That this trouble is due to the nature of the game or to any particular fault in the rules we cannot admit. If the game were played according to the spirit and the letter of the rules there would be nothing in it to trouble the most fastidious nature or to excite the tenderest conscience.

After two ten minute halves with the graduates, there will be a half hour of play against the second eleven. The game will really be more interesting to watch than a game with a weak college eleven would...
