Principal George A. Mirick of the
Strong school is opposed to rough play
ing in football, although disposed to
give the boys all the athletics that is
consistent with their studies. Several
weeks ago when one Of the Strong team
had his collar bone broken the princi-
pal had almost made UP his mind to
give up the football work for the re-
mainder of the season The reason for
the accident was that Strong played a
team whose men are much heavier
than the Strongs. Consequently it was
decided not to play any heavier teams.

consequently the game assigned for next
Saturday with this team is given up,
but a week from Saturday Strong will
play combination team from Day and
Lowell school. &C.
