...seemed very evident that the position of the students is as follows. Last year changes in the rules were proposed and adopted. These changes, however, have not proved sufficient in criminating the objectionable features of the game. The power of inflicting punishment must be increased. By doing this the unfair play which has been so manifest this year will disappear. We believe that this change, accompanied of course with other miner changes, will renovate the game of foot ball. What we ask is to be allowed to go into the foot ball convention, there demand that these radical changes...
...committee stated that no game had been played without violation of rules this year, though the faculty had given a year's opportunity for improvement in this respect; they object to this condition of play; for men who will not play unfairly cannot win, at present. Mr. Curtis, '83, urged delay, that Harvard might influence the other colleges to modify the rules again, in the inter-collegiate convention. He proposed that three referees should be employed, and the various duties be divided up amongst them, one especially to warn for intentional unfair play, which should immediately disqualify without permitting...
...freshman eleven, went out of training rather suddenly Thanksgiving evening, and have not as yet recovered from too much "turkey." Unless Yale can give a satisfactory answer to Harvard for her refusal to play on the scheduled date, we think the freshmen can justly claim a most unfair treatment at the hands of their Yale rivals.

The backing up of the man with ball always enabled him to pass it when in a strait, and the warding off of opposing tacklers made his path easy. Much of this latter was unfair as it was off-side, but it was done with such system that the thoroughness of preparation required cannot but be admired. The intentness on the game of the men was also good. Likewise their ability to tackle and rush as well as to kick well was noticeable. Harvard tackled...
...Harvard Weslyan foot ball game: "The Wesleyan team, which developed so rapidly and successfully during the past season, and which plays the 'Yale game' with such enthusiasm, has our best wishes for a credible showing today." Extract from our Monday report of the Harvard Wesleyan game: "Wesleyan took every unfair advantage that they could. Every one of their men was warned, and one of the men was ordered off the field by the referee." We shall look to the next issue of the Record for congratulations to the Wesleyan team upon their "creditable showing." They convincingly showed that they...
