...main object of the practice was to test the defensive strength of the team, and several times the second eleven was permitted to retain the ball after it had been lost on downs. It was of no avail, however, for once the second team, instead of making even small gains, was thrown back in eight plays for a loss of 10 yards, and again on a long series of rushes could gain but 40 yards. There were few long runs; the three touchdowns scored by the first team were the result of steady line plunging. Mills ran in a kick...

Since this chance of "faction rule" comes about from giving every ticket holder of the Society a vote at all meetings and from the actual lethargy or the great body of members, we may say that...
...value of each share should be the price of a membership ticket at present, one dollar; or, if that be not feasible under the Massachusetts law, as one of the Committee's legal supporters has already tentatively objected, two dollars, which would be sufficient to remove any "small capital" difficulty. One share of stock should belong to each member of the University who should pay the par value decided upon and receive therefore a receipt in terms which should bear the number of the share of stock assigned to him, these numbers to be used as are the membership numbers...
