A train run into q barge containing a
foot ball team at Southbridgc, Mass,
Thursday, killing three occupants of the
barge Did it not seem heartless it might
seem admissible to remark that death
came to the foot ball players only little
sooner than was expected. But this is
undeserved from the fact that it is learned
that the greatest foot ball game of Thanks
giving day, that between Harvard and the
University of Pennsylvania, was played
in gentlemanly, sportsmanlike manner.
True, the game was rough but not rowdy-
ish and Harvard would not have suffered
Us she did, had it not been for the effects OF
that brutal game at Springfield. 1t is
evident that the better sentiment among
the college players and their supporters is
making itself felt.
