thoughtlessness, that student sentiment cannot be
aroused too soon to crush such a spirit.
And I dare say, the general sentiment of the
students is against such doings. Knowing and
believing this there is presented to us a peculiar
phrase of reasoning on the part of those in authori
ty—i. e. Two wrongs, will make a right. They
say by their action that we the students must put
up with the inconvenience of not having our
grounds completed until they feel that they have
sufficiently punished us for the inadvertant thought
lessness of two or three of our body. This is not
right. The body of students are against any
such actions as were indulged in by those fellows,
and they stand to do whatever is right in making
up for this thoughtlessness.

cussion was held on the constitutional edict "that
in all championship games the net receipts shall
be equally divided between the contesting col

upon the words "net receipts :" "That in the
sense of the committee these words mean the de
ficit or surplus remaining after the traveling and
local expenses of the game be deducted."

The matter of choosing referees and umpires
was treated as the Press advised, viz s the choos
ing of men from outside and disinterested col
leges. A list of referees and umpires of each
game will be forwarded as soo:► as made. The
outlook for the season is all that can be wished.

except that it was decided to allow referees and
umpires five dollars and expenses for each game.
