...publish this morning a part of the report made by Mr. Knapp on the condition of the boat house at the time of the accident. Mr. Knapp finds several faults, each of which contributed to bring about the disaster,-some of which an examination would have shown, and some not. Neither the club nor the college seems to be to blame in particular, although we must confess it seems to us quite unsatisfactory to learn that, when a little careful investigation would have saved us from the accident, it was not made. That no one knew such an investigation...

...number of points that a safety and a touchdown count is manifestly a much fairer valuation than that which the old method employed. Rule 17 which reads "a player cannot be off-side play. Rules 19 and 38 as now amended seem to cove the points they bring up, much more satisfactorily than the old ones. A most judicious change has also been made in having the games for the future refereed by alumni, for it is her that a great dell of the trouble about the "rough game" is to be found. This change will not only do await...
