...needed for practice against the 'varsity eleven. There is certainly no reason, however, why table games should not be played in the mornings on Jarvis Field, if two scratch elevens could be formed. We are surprised to see that none have yet been played, as formerly they were an almost daily occurrence and were generally attended by a number of spectators who thoroughly enjoyed...
...right end. When a man got the ball he plunged along without any idea as to whether he was going through a hole in the rush line or into his opponent's arms. Neither of the half-backs got under the ball when it was kicked, but almost invariably waited for the bound, which is a wretchedly slow and uncertain way of playing, at best.

The advantages of such play, on the other hand, are quite apparent. By it some excellent latent material is almost sure to be brought out. The plan will, also, keep active the interest in football as a sport in itself, and will thus promote the interests of the 'varsity eleven. To those who have participated in table matches, an agitation of the subject cannot but be welcome. The rest...
