...think that such an opinion can only be held by men who at best obtain but a superficial view of college life and practices. It is most undeniably false that our nine, in wishing to practice with professional teams, is influenced by a desire to learn "tricks" and unfair points to be employed against Yale and Princeton, unless learning how to play base-ball in a scientific manner can be called a "trick." The Yale and Princeton nines play with professionals, and their playing shows the result of such training; we are simply influenced by the desire to fight upon...
...admitted, but when he declares that our chief purpose in wishing to play professionals is to learn a few more "tricks" he puts the matter in a wholly false light. We do not want to win the championship by tricks, if by "tricks" "X" means anything underhanded or unfair. All the sentiment of the University is against it.

Again, regarding high tackling, while it is not a good way to get at a runner, nor at all a sure way, there is no rule forbidding...
...really not the champion class in foot-ball. It has therefore seemed advisable not to award championship cups, but to let it be understood that unless all the games are played no real chapship is to be awarded; yet '89 played a hard game with '88 and it seems unfair that the members of the team should get no credit for their work simply because the other classes withdrew. It has therefore seemed advisable again to give '89 cups as a reward for their game with '88 and not as championships. These cups are to be marked "Foot-Ball...
