Hooker was now placed on the defensive, and Lee and Jackson devised...
...that these rules can be made effective without further and more minute restrictions being adopted by the faculty. What would be the ultimate effect upon athletics of such a policy consistently followed out it is easier to conjecture than accurately to predict. Certainly a system of espionage does not strike the average Harvard man as likely to help on the cause of athletic sports in the colleges...
