...work, can be found than is shown by the present Boston city government. These conditions not only make the situation interesting, but also are such as should afford college men peculiar satisfaction in studying and combating them.

If graduate players and men familiar with the game will co-operate with the captains and managers in their efforts to secure officials who will strictly and intelligently enforce the rules, much of the unpleasantness which results form faulty rulings in these keenly fought games will be obviated...
