Show football season has closed The THE J- J great Thanksgiving games have been played and the football will be laid away for another year We have no victories to boast of no defeats to lament nothing ng at all to worry over All of our sports game left us last year and in consequence a like death-like stillness has reigned supreme The utter lack of interest taken in by the students of the University has made many of us feel cynical Ye editorial writers have been deprived of ofa a most prolific topic ye professors have looked about in vain for the lost pleasure of giving a V to defray the expenses of an eleven nor must we forget the young ladies whose voices have become weak through no out-door out opportunity of hurrahing for the crimson and silver Football has become such a brutal game that it may well be questioned whether the University is not better off without it A great many realize that it has passed the bounds of proper sport and recreation that it has been made the chief pursuit and glory of many college students who place every proper educational duty in the background As President Walker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pertinently remarked remarked remarked re re- marked We hardly know whether A. A B. B stands for Bachelor of Arts or Batchelor of Athletics One good feature of football is that it tends to develop that college spirit which is so manifestly absent here It would certainly do away way with the rope of sand which binds the students of this U Uni Uni- ni- ni But taking everything into consideration we think the University has cause to congratulate itself |
