graduate manager has aspired to a globe trotting football squad and to the zeal of the followers of the glorious sport in supporting their stur dy gladiators many of the campus wrecks started out bravely on their long journey to the national capital with the spirit of the pioneer of old although many of them were missing when the final roll of supporters was called in washington the weather
