...athletic contests at Harvard. Stated briefly, the Committee must decide whether or not it will countenance a swing from the laissez-faire method of athletic competition to a system involving "high pressure" instruction and heavy emphasis on pure victory. Or, expressed more simply, the Committee must decide between the goal-line desires of some of its more enthusiastic alumni and students, and the desirability of keeping football a game which will be enjoyed by those who play...

Long part of the game on the Pacific Coast, it replaces the National League regulation whereby, for the same offense, the guilty player went to the sidelines for five minutes...
