Here are two logical demands sharply defined by idealism and practicality. But our editorial souls feel utmost repugnance at an attempt to mix the two, as recording in the Yale Daily News editorial.

Dr. Eddie O'Brien, refereeing the Brown-Yale tilt, allowed Clare Curtin, Eli tackle, to run with the ball after a Yale kick had been blocked.
