We have as much right to talk and plan means of developing our muscles as of refilling our mental faculties. "Football is the only game that has not yet become professional. It represents the pure and clean form of our national sports.

The players are governed by high ideals and mottoes. It is the college spirit and love of this Institution that Induces them to spend hours and hours of every day at practice on the field. The same spirit predominates which incited the ancient Grecians to win the laurels and trophies of victory. The same heroism is exhibited In the embryo on the football Held, by which a handful of Greeks repulsed the Immense hostile army of Persians, 2,000 years ago. We praise our boys In the team, for they fought bravely, won the victory, and have added another glorious year to the history of the university.

We love them, for we recognize their unselfish spirit and devotion to the university. We pay them tribute, for they have rendered themselves worthy of It."
