...penalties for fouls have in general been made more severe and the likelihood of applying them has been increased by the investing of powers practically equal to those of the umpire and the referee in a third official called lineman. His duty is to stand on the side-line and assist the regular officials in detecting and penalizing fouls, such as tripping and off-side play. The increased penalties were intended to eliminate roughness as much as possible,--and this result should be achieved through such provisions as those which prevent interference with a man who is punting or making...
...skill with which the centre page drawing of "The Out-door Plays" suggests in a very few lines the expressions of at least two of the players would do credit to a professional artist. In fact all the drawings are good and the reading matter in general quite their equal--or, at least, one thinks so until one comes to the last page.

The best batting for the Second nine was done by Fischel and for Andover by Breton...
...they will be sent out on Holmes Field for more extended work. Practice on Soldiers Field will not begin until the ground has dried out, and by that time it is hoped the new men will have so mastered the rudiments of the game, as to be on an equal footing with the older players. The captains of the class teams for this year will probably be chosen before the close of the week and the men will thereafter practice in class squads...
