" Heppy " and " Buck " are unanimous in
condemning monopolies and combines.
Chets " and " Dude " when going home
for vacation, met several young ladies on
the train with whom they chanced to be
acquainted. In the selfishness of their new
found happiness they would not introduce
'• Buck" or " Heppy," but allowed them to
sit next seat to the rear and see what a jolly
time they themselves were having. This
reminds us of the story the good old farmer
who•after having drained a jug of prime old
cider handed it to his companions with the
remark " that if he didn't believe that it was
good cider to just smell the jug."

Now that the foot-ball season is passed, we
can look back and see the faults and mistakes
which were made. We can also discuss them
with an unbiased mind, since all necessity for
hasty correction is passed.' If we can dis
cover any faults and mistakes (and there are
many) we should work out a remedy or better
still, a plan to prevent their recurrence, and
bearing it in mind till next season, apply it.
There is little use in reviewing past actions
if we are not going to apply our knowledge
and experience thus learned when next we
find ourselves in the same condition.
The greatest difficulty that hampered us
during the last foot-ball season was the lack
of material, that is good players. There were
plenty of men willing and anxious to play and
they did play, but in what kind of physical
condition were they ? In all but a few instances
there was little or no physical development.
By this we mean that nature had not been
artificially assisted in building up a system
which could stand the strain of foot-ball play
ing. This is our misfortune rather than our
fault, because we have had no gymnasium or
substitute for one, for a year or more. With.
