...turning away from one another at the instant he comes, the abuse of such tactics is wrong, and it never is, and never can be, good foot-ball to not only push and drag rushers out of the way, but even to butt, seize and pull to one side ends and halves who are running across to tackle. It is no exaggeration to say that this is, even now, not the exception, but almost the custom, in spite of the rulings of the umpires.

The progress of university life in all the larger colleges within the past decade has been striking, the broadening of the narrow views on educational affairs, the tendency to treat students like men instead...
