There was still some underhanded work that was not fully understood until after the game. Constantly the Yale snapper-back and other of the rushers would make fouls by which advantage would be gained. The referee would almost as constantly decide that he could grant no foul, his statement generally being that he had seen none. Understand, no charge is made against Mr. Cabot, except that at times he seemed rattled and inefficient. His mistakes were chiefly due to the methods employed by Yale...

Dr. Crosby's utterances on this and other phases of college life have recently been stirring up a lively debate on the subject.
