The Rules of Rugby Football

By Editor

We have received from President Wheeler of California University a copy of "The Rules of the Rugby Game of Football," played by California and Stanford Universities. President Wheeler declares that this shall be the game of the universities of the Pacific whatever the eastern footballers do. Now we are not a football crank or devotee, but we think the old Rugby game will be a welcome one compared with the pugilistic, murderous substitute adopted by the American colleges, and responsible for so much maiming and killing.
