...sudden awakening of the Committee, just before the great game of the year, seemed uncalled for, if not absurd. If was evident that, if the Committee did not know how the game was played they were unfit for their position, while if they did know it, they took an unfair advantage of the students by not making known their views at some sensible time. After this episode, came the famous "Athletic Regulations," and after posing for a few weeks in a silly attitude before the country, Harvard was compelled to ignominiously back down from the lofty stand it had taken...
...tackling was of the best, he tackling two men in succession when they had passed all others. Kimball made some good kicks and several good rushes but fumbled several times. Of the rush line the less said the better. Wesleyan played a very rough game and 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. Our team was as follows: rushers, Keith, Thayer, Gilman, Winslow, Brooks, Phillips and Simpkins; quarterback, Bemis; halfbacks, Kimball and Willard; fullback, Peabody. Mr. Terry of Yale acted...

It is a change which the modified requirements of the present freshman year warranted the faculty in making. It would be manifestly unfair to compel a student to bestow twice the labor up on the attainment of a degree which is required from the most fortunate underclassman...
...after all but mortal and can not have his eyes upon every man in the field. As long as this state of things continues we suppose there will be players who are mean enough to avail themselves of this opportunity. To be obliged to publicly warn a man for unfair play three times before by punishment can be inflicted seems absurd, but such was the case under the old rules. The present change has lessened the number of warnings to two, but should have gone further and reduced the number to one. In this way alone can intentional offside play...
