said Milford, ons Day at dinner; "T

games; don't take interest enough in
them, even, TO 90 down to the Acid

But when IL comes to the big ones,
get so nervous IL kreAks me all up: I
cant work aAd caxt sleep for thiRk-

Prof Milford has 9 highly strung
temperament, but we all felt that his
particular words applied 70 our owa
cases. too. But this particular year
had an added source OF anxiety
IN connection with the game. Guild,
The great half-back, whom everyone
ooked to to secure The asedsd touch
iown, was conditioned In Nittord's
'ubject, and that condition must be re-
moved before he could play in The
game. Milford had sent
lim notice after notice, with no effect,
md he knew the students might at
empt 20 take advantage Of the facul-
les sympathy vita their cause, and
ret around the conditieH in some way.
