...commonly think of the early Germans only as barbarians and destroyers. The Germans, however, cannot have had this aspect to themselves. They rightly felt that their energies and powers were not altogether barbarous.

But, again, viewing the game calmly and dispassionately, it is certain that Mr. Coffin's umpiring had an effect on Yale's playing which is deeply to be regretted; and it is equally certain that his umpiring showed a lack of fairness and justice which, from all sides, is much more to be regretted. He only knows whether or not it was intentional...
