...concerted, was a permanent feature in all of the games, and although not always successful was rarely punished. Intentional offside play and unlawful interference with opponents who were not running with the ball, were the rule rather than the exception; and tackling below the hips, tripping, butting, tackling in touch (all of which are prohibited by the rules), were common and deliberate...
...downed by Burgess. The ball was then passed to Richards, who made a long kick which Kimball muffed. It was Harvard's "down," but close to their 25-yard line. Bemis passed it poorly and Kimball lost it, so that Yale had the ball "down" close to the touch line. It was slipped to Coxe, who threw himself forward and landed over the line, thus securing the first touchdown in less than three minutes after the commencement of the game. Ricbards kicked the goal...
...line" with all the players crowding round him on the watch for a "rouge;" as an enthusiastic Etonian has been heard to observe, "it is the poetry of football!"

But the player who forces it over must at the moment be in immediate contact with one of his opponents; otherwise the ball is "cool," and is quietly kicked off into the middle of the ground...

...injured at this point and his place was takne by Simpkins. A poor throw by Tufts put the ball into Phillips' possession, and he rushed it over the line. From the touchdown thus obtained, however, Bemis failed to score a goal. Within a short time Tufts made a touch in goal, and shortly afterwards was compelled to make a safety touchback. The next few minutes were signalized by neat passing between Bemis and Phillips, and then Kimball secured the ball and made a fine rush: he was thrown, however; receiving a terrific fall, which at first seemed...
