...governors and the governed, with efforts mutually opposed; the governors seeking to establish an artificial order, the governed bent on maintaining their natural liberty. Professors should not be responsible for the manners of students beyond the legitimate operation of their personal influence. Academic jurisdiction should have no criminal code, should inflict no penalty but that of expulsion, and that only in the way of self-defence against positively noxious and dangerous members...
...Clipper draws the following moral from the Yale-Princeton game : "The contest with its kicking feature gave ample evidence of the fact that the door for improvement in the inter-collegiate code is wide open for a decided advance towards the English Foot-ball Association's rules, with the view of encouraging kicking more and contracting the field for rushing with ball in hand.

...regular touchdown. Four touchdowns are equal to a goal, and it would be well to make four safety touchdowns equal to a regular touchdown, thereby giving the attacking side the right to try at goal whenever the defensive side had touched down for safety four times.

The game of foot-ball should certainly be what its name indicates, but under...

There are now virtually but three codes of rules under which foot-ball is played, viz.: That of the English Foot-Ball Association, the Rugby School code and the American Inter-Collegiate Association code. The English Association rules admit of no handling of the ball in "carrying" it - as in the case of a "run in" - "passing" it, throwing it or of "knocking on;" that is, batting it with the hands. It can only be kicked, except it goes out of bounds. Goals scored by a kick alone count in this game, there being no touchdowns in the score...
