Rugby Foot Ball as played in Canada to-day, is substantially the same game as that introduced years ago. The American Association or open formation game was brought in some five years since, but at no time met with such favor as to supplant its parent...
...with the scrimmage and playing in the scrimmage with the idea not so much of playing the ball forwards, as sidewards to these unchecked men. This play is a great advantage when adopted by one side only, and could not prove very effective otherwise. Much cannot be said in favor of the change, it leads to loose scrimmaging which means excessive roughness in the game. Another improvement, and one more properly so-called, is that in drop-kicking and punting by the whole team, and particularly those playing behind the forwards. No change has been made in the score...
...Yale still retains the championship, which she has held for the past three years, and these are the reasons for her position: First, the score, which according to the referee, was 6 to 4 in Yale's favor at the end of an hour and seventeen minutes.

Third, the opinion of the Harvard delegation-a neutral body-that Yale is champion...

Only on the score of great familiarity and intimacy can we explain the liberty so often taken in getting off these "grinds." Another reason possibly...
...Acta Columbiana proposes that Harvard's two intercollegiate boat races be merged into a Yale-Columbia-Harvard race. We desire to see cordial relations established between Columbia and Harvard, and, if weighty reasons did not interfere, would gladly oblige Columbia by urging a favorable consideration of her proposal. We admit the force of the reasons urged by the Columbiana in favor of the project, that great interest in the event would be aroused and that there would be greater honor for the victors of this race. Nevertheless, there are other considerations which must not be over-looked...
