...base-ball diamond on it, and above all, is absurdly small. Every probability points to some one being seriously hurt there in future games; and this being so, is practice so valuable to us as to make us run the risk of crippling our best men, even if we never play on the Union Grounds again...
Boating matters have reached such a crisis this year as they never have before, at least so far as the 'Varsity crew is concerned.

Just here the writer urges the spectator uninformed as to the game not confound running tactics such as 'warding off' with blows. 'Warding off' never hurts the player, warded off, since by the rules the runner is not allowed to strike with closed fists. Professor Johnston remarks that the chief evil of the game is betting and urges the undergraduates 'to put down betting on the purely material side of the game-partly from...
