...offered. While we would not cast any reflection upon the character of previous songs, and humbly trust that we appreciate their merits, we feel that it would not be amiss, if the chorister were supplied with several contributions, from which to make a selection. We believe that we are right in saying that such has not been the case in the past. We hope that more men will try to compose words for the class song this year...
Your contributor says that different teams have represented us in different contests. They may have had a change in number 3 or 2, but they have been virtually the same, and the '88 man in question has pulled on them all.

...foot-ball season. Yet any one who has, knows to his cost how far behind the others he is when he comes into training work. How short of wind he is! How tired he gets! In a week or two more he is, so he thinks, all right. But by the first of November he has a fit of the "blues" or does not sleep; and he wonders why he has got over-trained...
