The captains of class teams who were appointed to umpire did not show any zeal or interest whatever in the matter, and, when they could, sent substitutes to fill their places.

But now, in the midst of examinations, it will be very difficult for most men to consider the matter carefully, unless the faculty see fit to change the usual date of handing in the lists.
