It is no violation of confidence to state that the conference did not endorse this ruling. The conference, however, has no authority to impose its opinions upon any of its members.

He is reliable in lineplunging and is also a good punter...

Captain Marshall went through the signal practice, but did not join in the scrimmage. A new player, Mercer 2M., a former Holy Cross halfback, weighing over 200 pounds, joined the squad and was tried at fullback...
