SOCCER.

This morning's communication on association football merits the consideration of all undergraduates not already engaged in the spring major sports. From modest beginnings, soccer has steadily progressed in importance among the minor athletics, and this advance has resulted in the engagement for this year of a professional coach. Its position is therefore assured, if it receives adequate support from the undergraduates.

We agree with the writer of the communication that association football "possesses all the essentials of a true sport." In addition, the game certainly offers men without previous experience or special bodily endowments, an unrivaled opportunity for healthful exertion and real enjoyment. This opportunity should appeal particularly to that large group of men who, for divers reasons, get no regular exercise.
