The fact that a man knows nothing of football should be no barrier to his joining this class. On the contrary, Mr. Cumnock is eager to have anyone who would like to try for the team in the fall join the class and take advantage of the training offered. We hope men will embrace this opportunity, and that these well-directed efforts of the captain of the eleven may be met more than half way by the college...

Cable speaks on a subject which concerns...
...open the doors to outsiders in order to get an audience. As the seats are reserved and tickets can be had for the asking, no one can stay away in the excuse that it is necessary to go early to get a seat, or that they do not feel like paying to hear a lecture on a subject in which they are not particularly interested...
