...University, immediately to appoint a Committee whose duty it shall be to make a careful investigation of the subject, and to report such thorough-going alterations in the game as will remove the unfair advantage now obtained from violation of the rules, will put a higher premium on skill, make mere weight and strength of less value, and will produce a more scientific and interesting sport. Very truly yours, W.T. REID...
...work of C. A. Woodbury '06, on the parallel bars was an excellent exhibition of strength and ease. L. M. Dunning of Princeton on the horizontal bar showed great skill.

Did God really put all the brain, nerve, heart, skill, adroitness, quickness worth cultivating into Polyphemus? Has not this idolatry of burly Sullivans, and Wooly Goliaths game far enough? Why does this good old game of football languish in America? Why does good old Rugby languish? Why do not the men who pine upon the bleachers take this up and make it popular? It is a better...
