...University race was over a distance of two miles, each man running 780 yards. W. F. Eaton '22, lead-off man for the Crimson, had the pole. At the start he sprang into the lead over W. B. Nazro of Dartmouth and when he handed the baton to J. W. Quinn '23 he was ten yards ahead of his man. R. W. Letteney, running in second place for the Green, made up this distance, passed Quinn in the fourth lap, and gave A. J. Coakley a five-yard advantage over J. A. McCarthy '22. McCarthy showed his gameness by sticking...

Late in the second period, blocking a punt on the black-jerseys' five-yard line, and again recovering the ball, the Cubs had opportunity snatched from their hands when their goalward march was halted on the one-yard line by the end of the half...
...change would not be feasible. The idea of punishing those who delay the game, however, is still alive, and the latest suggestion is to change the penalty. As the rules are now, when the referee decides that a team is stalling, he can penalize them five yards. But a five-yard penalty means little or nothing to such a team, and to remedy the situation, it is proposed that the rules be changed so that the referee be allowed to say that the next play shall be a punt. The great objection to this is that it puts too much...
