...Yale could not even score a safety. Coxe and Ketchum, whose weight aggregated about 450 pounds, tried their best to score for the blue, but were foiled in every attempt.

Again there are so many men engaged that individuals may be warned here and there and the play of a team not affected at all. Allowing three warnings, as under the present rules, is as though in sparring three blows under the belt were allowed before disqualification...
