FALL BLASTS

The gates of Soldiers Field, creaking through a summers rust, open today to admit an imarient crowd of football enthusiasts. An added week of anticipation together with interesting rumors of a team at practice have whetted a dangerously keen appetite for pigskin.

But if the undergraduate has figuratively been a week sailing without a port to steer to, the team has profited by the extra time. There has been opportunity, despite the short pre-season practice, to exercise old and to develop new material without that pressure of an early game which occasionally has resulted in pre-season injuries.

By the grace of our welcomed opponents the teams are ready, and the undergraduate is more than ready. All that is lacking is a puff of wind to rattle a dry pea in a tin whistle.
