...Whenever a foul is committed which in the opinion of the umpire did not affect the play the offended side may decline the penalty. In case of a run being made from this play not more than fifteen yards from the spot where the foul was committed shall be allowed." Why limit B's gain because A is off-side...
...entire Harvard team only two men, J. Lawrence and Ristine, were up to their usual form. Lawrence charged vigorously, making Wheelock the weak spot in the Carlisle team. Ristine followed the ball quickly, stopped several plays from behind and prevented gains around his end. His playing was better than that of Hallowell, who since his injury has been unable to play his position well. Eaton was a little weak at his position in defense, and Graydon, who took his place, could open no holes. The guards and centre were slow and barely held their ground against lighter men. Daly hesitated...
...social room for children at present in that district the rooms will be fitted up with periodicals and books for children from seven to fourteen years of age. Some fifty standard juvenile books are being purchased to form a nucleus.

Campbell was not up to his best form and the slowness which has characterized his recent playing was still noticeable. Hallowell's weak ankie kept him from running...
...distance and chances to score through off-side play and holding. In spite of this, however, the team had little difficulty in making regular gains, principally through the line, the whole eleven playing a snappy and fast offensive game. Nevertheless, whenever West Point got the ball a weak spot was usually found in the Harvard team and short regular gains resulted, but sooner or later a fumble put an end to the rally. Harvard's strength lay in bucking the line and running in the open field, and the weakness was in the defensive work of the left side...
