...Let us stop this! But the football management must also help. Let us have our mass meetings and our song practices, let us have them often! Three meetings this week and a mass meeting or song practice every night next week would not be any too many. And let us have more than that!

A word to such men at a physical examination at the beginning of the college year from a man who knows their condition would not only help the men themselves but indirectly the organized sports of the University...
