The action of the faculty of Harvard College in forbidding its ball team from engaging in contests with clubs outside of the college arena is provoking a great deal of adverse comment. Outside of League games no contests in this vicinity have attracted so much attention as the Beacon-Harvard series, which have been played for several seasons. Both players and the public entered heartily into the games between these two clubs and a vast amount of indignation is expressed that they are not to be continued. The action of Harvard's faculty is regarded as narrow and bigoted and as a death-blow to the National game in that institution. The Sporting Life March 5, 1884

The Harvard faculty has modified its rules so that the Harvards and Beacons can arrange games with each other, but they must be played on the college grounds.
