team and the first half ended with the ball in the Sophomore's possession. In the second half the Sophomores seemed again to be getting the better of their opponents, but still could not score. About six minutes before the end of the game Cartwright made a good play and secured a touch-down for the Freshmen, but failed at goal. Neither team scored after this and the game ended 4-o in favor of '95. ' 94. White I end Walker 1 tackle Cane I guard Dale center...........

EDITOR:- Contributions and encouraging words are eag erly solicited from the ex-student by the favored ones who are now controlling the helm of the ship, but during the hour when meditating; yea, the nights that you dream of old chums, old ene mies, old tricks, old scenes, stop the click of meli• tation, and the darkened dial of dreamland, gaze at the landscape that now presents itself, inquire of yourself, of No. 68, of chum, why it is that the boys who took among us, are now the least in terested of any—so different, As natural, you blame him for forgetting the many benefits that were denied while attending College, even accus ing of ungratefulness. Consider well before doing such ; for in many instances, yes, in the majority, as soon as the doors of College are forever closed, THE FREE LANCE. others take the vacant places, receive all the atten tion and consideration, while the former student goes forth to face the obstacles of life empty hand ed, relying only on his own energy and deter mination. During the hours that he spends on Blackstone's Commentaries, in writing deeds, sweeping the office, attending to official business, nonofficial business, the uppermost thought in his mind is the pltasant College reminiscences. Does he receive any consideration in return? Do the ones who were at his back ready to place him in any position of honor and influence, still call out "go on we are with you ?" No, the past has fa ded away; they have sunk into oblivion ; now, news is even at a premium. Such a state of affairs should be changed, thoroughly renovated. Not that the former student wishes or desires to have the same relation, the free and easy intercourse that once existed ; but reciprocity between the ex stud ent and the bona fide would result in a reform that would go thundering down the ages. The know ledge acquired from text books is manifold, yet the practical, every day common sense obtained from co-mingling with students from every part of a great Commonwealth, like our 'own beloved Penn sylvania, is by far the greater instructor of modern times, and the only way to receive such is by util izing the opportunities you have. The former student appreciates this. By all means, take an in terest in your books, yet unless you have enough ability to. keep up with your class, and still devote some time to foot-ball, base-ball, tennis, inter collegiate sports, field day, class affairs, the athlet ic association, your fraternity '(af a member) and the literary society, you had better pay your boari, shake hands with friends, say good-bye, and go home or enter the world as we find it, to learn by observation. Your life will be a failure. Take this interest, you who are now students ; but pray don't blame the former student when you your• self are more responsible for the condition of af fairs that is now so general among our American Colleges. Keep the former class mate, friend and adviser in your thoughts, send him the news of the .Snenee. .Robinson. Dunmore. J. L. Muria. Burkett. ‘4eott. ..W. H. Brown. —Stewart. Taylor. „Newborn.
