although the eleven has as yet developed no triple threat to replace jack storer and may possibly be a little weak in passing the various combina tions tried out by the coach have shown plenty of power against the freshmen in the scrimmages thus far besides those mentioned the coach has plenty of other prom ising material from which to choose his backfield for the line positions there are not

and work on the various apparatus that give the effect of actual op position of a flesh and blood team yet eliminating most of the danger from injuries the mechanical devices include tack ling dummies the harness and a large juggernaut effect on small wheels and very heavy that the linesmen shove in order to develop leg strength and line charging ability of cours thereareotherdevices of minor importance in the scrimmage on wednes day assistant coach bill springsteen sustained a severe wrench of the ankle that will consequently eliminate him from further scrimmage for a short time however it will not ma terially interfere with his coaching services mellinger is another on the injured list dot has been carrying an injured shoulder for about a week or so but doubtless will be back again

to sales the business manager is very desirous of having the entire nine issues so far the fresh man class has stood the burden of supplying the burr treasury a thing which has been very common in the past few years this year the board and com petitors are out to get subscrip tions from every student since the magazine can only be sup ported by the whole-hearted sup port of upper-classmen as well

bi-weekly room for more men the football team of the class of 28 got its first real ac tion tuesday afternoon by scrimmaging with the varsity after a short preliminary drill the yearlings invadedthe low er field to put into practice the teachings of coach cusick al though the older men had the better of things the frosh gave a very good account of them selves the scrimmage brought to light a bad defect on the part of the younger men which must be immediately remedied it showed that they have a decid ed lack of tackling ability this may be explained by the fact that they have had little or no practice with the tackling dum my the varsity men have been using it each afternoon but the frosh will soon have their chance practically every one the scrimmage but no good tack lers were found bosey is still out assisting art cusick and together they are putting their charges through drills in the fundamen tals of the game they are also teaching'ithem some good plays which should prove to be excel lent ground-gainers cusick has made great strides with his team considering the handicaps under which he is la boring half of his squad are obliged to attend hygiene lec tures on mondays and thurs days while the other half must do likewise on tuesdays and fridays also every wednes day his whole squad has to be present at drill under this ar rangement it is impossible for him to get all his men together until after five o'clock notwith standing these difficulties he has gone ahead and is now devel oping a remarkably good team hill and dale men pound turf the welcome of the president

scrimmages captain groner is practically anxious a turn at the stick this fall so that they will be that much fur ther advanced when the season opens next spring freshmen are particularly re quested to come out for the fall practice as there are plans being made so that a freshman lacrosse team will go into action next spring to make this possible a sufficient number of men must come out and show the coach that they are willing to work and learn the game as lacrosse is a new game to most all fresh men all those who come out have an equal chance of making the squad as yet there has not been any freshmen schedule ar ranged the manager is wait ing to see just how many of the new men come out and how far advanced they get in the game this fall fall practice in la crosse is very beneficial and

our politics ser iously it is doubtful however whether many of us are fully alive to the real and vital problems of government or that we have any settled logical convictions regarding them our opin ions of such problems where we have any at all are in most cases based upon traditional or hereditary conceptions of them or are the result of mis-information or prejudice it has been my observation that the right of the individual to participate in government or equality of opportunities to gov ern—that is liberty is one that man values most when he does not posses it and least when it has been accorded to him prob ably few words in common use convey a more widely varying meaning in the minds of men than liberty and freedom patrick henry's famous exclamation give me liberty ov give men death was an xflression of his desire for political lib erty freedom of conscience and equality c opportunity in gov ernment with due regard to the rights of others while the slo gan of the french
