...idea has recently been suggested to me, which, if properly carried out, would seem to add a much needed stimulus to one side of the game of football. One of the greatest criticisms that is heard at the present time against the game is that it is too rough and of no use to us after we leave college.

Milton, on the other hand, gained first down only once, which was the result of a forward pass. The work of Russell, Plumb and Haskell of the Senior team was especially good. A Senior training table will be started at Memorial Hall...
