...present, some of the new rules can be discussed only with reference to probability, as their full force has not yet been tested. Of the rules which find more frequent application, the one allowing only four men back of the line when within 25 yards of the opponent's goal would seem to have the most far-reaching effect.

If the decision of the judges is sustained, Yale will have won the Mott Haven cup offered in 1890 to the college winning the annual championship the greatest number of times in fourteen years; if the decision...
