We have called to attention that the danger of football is a danger of bumps and bruises. Against the argument that football makes for foul play, we have held up virility. I know personally that foul tactics are scorned at Harvard and Yale. Must we give up a great game because a few "muckers" show their bad characters? Football stands for loyalty to a college and an ideal...
...opponents are not real statistics; they have given us a one-sided argument. Lists of injuries are not statistics. Our opponents tell us of the dangers, the time taken up, and the moral evils.

...reach second. Both pitchers, up to the eighth inning, were supported by excellent fielding. The infielders of both teams covered their positions thoroughly and the outfielders were sure on catching flies. A feature of the game was the difficult catch by Kernan in the second inning of a long foul by Dickinson. In batting, both nines showed ability to hit consistently, although, except in the eighth inning, most of the hits went directly to the fielders...
