SERIOUS question. confronts every player and follower of football in our school, in fact in every high school in this part of the state the same problem has arisen within the last year. It is one which commands the most universal attention that any athletic question ever has before. The question is: Shall we remain faithful to our adopted game of Australian Rugby, or shall we change to the old American intercollegiate game? The Rugby game is so well known by most students that it is un- necessary to defend it here. One of the American game's strongest points at our school is that we could, without a doubt, secure an excellent coach from the University of California and by working hard, get a big head-start on our neighboring schools. American has already entered our school. Every day at noon the inter-class elevens of the Blues and Colds may be seen practicing formations in the yard. As this question will probably be put to vote in the school before long, it should be the duty of every wide-awake student to inform himself of the strongest points of each game, and to weighthe pros and cons over thoroughly. The ghost of American football has entered the school. ls it a ghost, or a reality? N November sixteenth the Golds staged their lynx for jinks or Gynks or however it is spelledj at noontime in the yard. A bull-ring was made of benches and after much pushing, and elbowing, and fighting for places, the audience became partly settled and the fun began. Major-domo Martin announced the hrst event-a pie-eating contest between Bruce Thomas and Fat Alberg. XN'hen the dust of the start had cleared, Little Kenny was seen to be leading by about three mouthfuls, and although Chubby,' rallied frantically in the ninth Cpiej Kenny finished first, after having spread as much pie upon his ears as he succeeded in consuming. The next act upon the program was a genuine Keystone pie nghtg 'fSlim Haynes saying Yes and Knox Bronson No.'l The fight itself and the final result were all that could have been imagined by the spectators, and the argument was called a draw by the judges after the first 30 seconds, on account of the contestants inability to recognize each other. Number three was a tilting contest, out of which Poopy King. mounted upon his faithful Russian charger, Vodka Jenks, emerged the victor. The Battle Royal, the piece de resistance of the comedy, came last, and f'Toughy Gilsenan's preliminary sparring was interrupted by the bell. which concluded this interesting exhibition.
