...Harvard and Yale, which is undesirable and not a worthy object to attain. It is surely unworthy of the two acknowledged leaders of American colleges that there should be constant bickering and unpleasantness between them. But it seems to me that the best, and, in fact, the only practicable method of doing away with the "Yaleism," or, what seems the same thing, the "muckerism" of foot-ball, is to enforce the regulation requiring the referee to disqualify a player upon a second apparently intentional violation of the rules of the game. If the referee had disqualified the Yale...
...rules adopted at the last inter-collegiate convention to prevent the old so-called "block game" were totally unavailing when put to the test. The game employed by Princeton was entirely justifiable by the rules, and under the circumstances was, without doubt, the very safest and most reasonable method she could employ. Had Harvard been in her place she would have undoubtedly used the same means to hold her advantage. But by this method should an inferior eleven chance by accident to score any point on more powerful adversaries, they might be able to hold their opponents...
Unless by some unlucky chance we are treading upon the hollow crust which overlies the deep volcano of a satirical editorial, we wish to enter our protest against the suggestion advanced in the last Advocate, that in order to secure victory our team adopt next year the Yale method of playing foot-ball-the method of illegal fouling and of deliberate maiming. Harvard can never descend to such a game, and if the suggestion of the Advocate be serious, it is, we think, highly reprehensible and unworthy of our esteemed contemporary...
...rule requiring three warnings to send a man from the foot-ball field, adopt a rule requiring only one warning; thus the Yale rushers would not be allowed two warnings without punishment, or, in other words, they could not make two fouls without being disqualified. Some such method must be adopted. We can no longer meet Yale's brutal behavior in the mild, courteous spirit which we have hitherto shown. Neither do we wish to see fulfilled the prophesy of the Yale man, who said after the game Saturday, "You call our playing a mucker game, but you will have...
...Yale game of foot-ball. I believe that after the exhibition given us by Yale last Saturday, that every Harvard man who wishes to keep up the tone of college athletics, will approve of any action taken by the eleven or the corporation to prevent its repetition. The only method of doing this is the extreme one of refusing to play Yale hereafter. Now that the college faculty has taken such pains to eradicate all professionalism from college athletics, I think they should go further and endeavor to keep out all "Yaleism." I do not wish to say anything against...
