RECENT FOOTBALL GAME.
The recent game at Richmond has
been the subject of much comment in
college during the past week SHIRLEY,
the hero OF the game, has been univer-
sally praised by all, and his entering
the lecture hall Saturday morning was
the occasion Of vociferous applause.
All the boys played great ball, and the
whole University Is happy over the re-
suit. The team has shown what 1t was
capable of doing. and finished the
season with n good record, changing
what, from early appearances, looked
to be 81 bad year.
Now that the football season is over,
athletics will take short rest, allowing
men to do undisturbed work for inter
mediate examinations. Practice for the
baseball season will soon begin, and the
prospects for n good team are very
bright.
