THE SENIOR FOOTBALL TEAM.

A few years ago a picture of a Senior football team that won the class championship presented an array of some 35 or 40 players, all with numerals. Numbers if nothing else must have won that championship.

This year scarcely enough Seniors are reporting for practice to form one complete eleven. These men are displaying enthusiasm that deserves success. Yet how can they be expected to perform a task that usually takes more than twice their number? The small size of the squad leads us to surmise that the Senior class as a whole is unaware of the determination of these few men to win the class football championship. If this is so, it is high time the class became better informed. Seniors may gain this information any day by going to Soldiers Field and watching their class team practice.

If, however, there are a number of men who intend to come out a few days before the interclass series--just in time to get into the games--the case is different. These new-comers will expect to reap all the advantages earned by the few men who worked from the beginning. If there are any more football players in the Senior class than those already playing, let them report at once and join in the enthusiastic spirit exhibited by those already out. The short time before the games is surely not too much to devote to the making of a proficient team.
