"Dirty football" cannot be proved or disproved by conferences and discussions. But at least the charges and defenses could have been made within earshot of those involved. The Crimson has already voiced the opinion that the only judge who is competent to accuse a player or a team of "dirty football" is the referee. Nothing could be more futile, however, than a signed statement after a gain by a referee as proof that...
