...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 a substitute to take such disqualified player's place. The referees might be chosen by the convention...
...referee is 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.

Bicycling has been energetically advanced in the college, and we can only urge its forwarders...
...such action, we can only say that he should be fully aware of the fact that the college has more than once shown its emphatic disapproval of any such expeditions. We had thought that this silly custom had died out with the flasco of last year, and wish to warn '87 against beginning its college career with its revival, Harvard is gradually reaching a point from which it can present to the college world a university free from the childish effervescence which characterize the smaller colleges. Hazing and the kindred exhibitions are fast becoming things of the past...
