...changes in the game itself which were made by the Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee with a view to mitigating injuries, and secondly the new eligibility rules debaring Freshmen and graduate students. The former by making the play more open has created a much more interesting game in which fast, moderately heavy men with spirit and intelligence are at a premium.

...with a score of 10 to 0, the second 17 to 0. The game with Bates, won by Harvard by the score of 27 to 6, was a contest which, although one sided, was decidedly interesting and fairly encouraging for the University team.
