...from unconcern over the success of that season? Here's a simpler explanation of those absences-the debilitation of re-echoing defeat, nothing but defeat! It is a natural time to hide one's light under a bushel. The cry of splendid showing gives no satisfaction. It is a poor thing, though a logical result of undergraduate reactionary sentiment, when they consider what the team has done in spite of the meddlesome interference of the Faculty and Corporation.

A full flight of ten hurdles was put up yesterday for the first time. Next week the training table will be started...
