The various provisions contained in them were in general not unexpected, in view of the course of the recent agitation of the matter in the different colleges and in the public press. We reserve any criticism of the measures in detail...
...discussed. They believe that college sports should be conducted as the amusement of amateurs, and not as the business of professional players; they are in favor of forbidding college clubs and crews to employ trainers, to play or row with "professionals," or to compete with clubs or crews who adopt either of these practices...
