There will be a mass meeting for all those interested in the welfare and continuance of the game of foot ball at Harvard, in Holden Chapel Tuesday evening Dec. 9th, at 7.15 P. M. promptly. The object of the meeting is to choose a committee of three or five men, who shall consult together and make some amendments to the present rules, which can be laid before the convention; and, if accepted, will probably insure the continuance of the game here. All who take an interest in the game are cordially invited to attend, and it is suggested that they...
...team as it passed through the city on its way to New Haven. Finding none of the men in the train, he telegraphed to the Yale freshman captain to know if the game was to be played, and received the following telegram.

Gentlemen, require us to coach ourselves, and you add to what is already the most objectionable feature of college rowing. You make it impossible for crew men to do as well in their studies, and so you prepare the way for the eventual abolition...
...committee stated that no game had been played without violation of rules this year, though the faculty had given a year's opportunity for improvement in this respect; they object to this condition of play; for men who will not play unfairly cannot win, at present. Mr. Curtis, '83, urged delay, that Harvard might influence the other colleges to modify the rules again, in the inter-collegiate convention. He proposed that three referees should be employed, and the various duties be divided up amongst them, one especially to warn for intentional unfair play, which should immediately disqualify without permitting...
