...spite of the request of the Senior Nomination Committee that there be no electioneering at the Class Day elections, the Committee has received evidence that canvassing has been carried on for certain candidates.

Finally it remains to prove that the immoderate desire to win demands success at the sacrifice of honor and fair play. There is a distinct tendency today towards unfair, and brutal playing, and this unfits football for a place among college sports. Unfair methods are profitable towards victory, and there is every incentive to their use. The close formations and mass plays make it possible for a player to violate the rules and escape detection, and such opportunities...
