UNSUNG HEROES

While the newspaper depositors and the ubiquitous "movie" men did not grace Soldiers Field by their presence yesterday afternoon, two battles took place which would do honor to any great seat of athletic culture. Forty-four heroes clad in disintegrating football togs fought it out with a real fervor, and although the officials experienced some difficulty in distinguishing whether these armored warriors were Seniors or Freshmen, yet the crowd of one thousand spectators, more or less, experienced a feeling of lively enthusiasm.

Class football games are on! And who can witness four embryonic linemen from Smith Halls attempting to stop a charging fury from Thayer without a thrill. Not only is the singular bravery to be commended, but also the love of the game which was in great evidence. It is at least encouraging to see that the undergraduates care enough about football as a sport to play and play hard, although eighty thousand voices are not yelling encouragement and no band is playing inspiring music. These interclass contests are a valuable institution--they ought to be more of them.
