Yesterday's parade of students to Soldiers Field and cheering the team was an undoubted success, but it seems to me there was one decided omission. The CRIMSON of yesterday contained copies of several songs written to be sung at this game, and most of us thought those songs were to be learned and sung at the practice. Copies were distributed to the men, but absolutely no effort was made to start singing. The men were ready and anxious, but the Glee Club for some unknown reason seemed indisposed to start things going by leading. The band has worked hard...
...their tickets to speculators is probably without foundation. When we consider that undergraduates have all been offered good prices for their tickets, it speaks well for their sense of honor that so few of them have yielded. It was hoped that the large number of seats constructed around the field would effectually check speculation, and to that end the management deliberately put money into seats it did not expect to sell.

It is further hoped that the Glee Club will lead the singing next Saturday. The songs follow...
...practice game against the second eleven yesterday afternoon, the first eleven scored four touchdowns and one goal from the field in twenty-three minutes play. There were few fumbles by the first eleven, but many by the second. The tackling in general was poor and the men had no success in following the ball. Great effort was made to perfect team play which resulted in good pushing in the line plays. As Hallowell was slightly injured and Campbell did not go into the line-up, the work of the ends was weak. The kicking by Sawin, however, was good, especially...
