...call to mind a poorer practice than that of the University football team yesterday would be a most difficult task. Not since the start of the season has a more spiritless or unsatisfactory exhibition occurred; and in view of the close proximity of an important contest, the showing was certainly disquieting. The whole team was remarkably slow, there was practically no interference, and but for the extreme weakness of the second eleven, whose frequent fumbles thwarted any attempts at effectual offensive work on their part, defeat would have been hard to avert.

The larger the membership is, the lower will be the annual dues. In spite of the apparent unfairness, of exempting the graduates from this second payment, the committee recommend this in view of the much smaller use that most of them will make of the building, and also...
