PEOPLE AT THE GAME.

away One of my classmates" writes
Jesse Lynch Williams in Outing, could
never endure the dreadfully glorious
opening moment. He always turned his
face away and then kept beseeching
the rest of us in low moan to tell
him what was going on, which we never
did.
Il know another man who always
goes alone and will not allow any one
he knows to sit near him if he can help
it. He wears cap and sweater and
pays no attention 10 anything but foot
bail yelling with delight when a thing
pleases him and swearing quietly to
himself when there seems need of it.
Once upon a time he was the best
football player of his department in the
whole country, but that was SO many
years ago that they no longer call upon
his services as a coach, so he sits in
the grand stand and has a lonely de-
bauch of football emotion
Most of us, however, need some one
TO talk to. some one TO say the inane.

Going to kick when fifty or sixty

really dangerous at football games, he
strikes out so hard and wildly.
There is another man not in our
class. who goes TO every game. and
though we always hope TO avoid him he
turns up in our proximity with a regu-
larity which makes us nudge each other
and say, of course
He is of the noisy breed. stirs up
dissensions, gives the umpire advice be-
fore it is requested and let's 1t be known
TO every one within four rows just how
much he bet on the game and with
whom. while we look the other way and
pretend that he has merely assumed our
college colors for the occasion. There is
one advantage of being near him, how
ever. he never hesitates TO below,
