f' - iw l Resume of Football Season of 1 9 1 2 T is a variegated array of scores that must be recorded for the season of 1912. It was a season whose vicissitudes were many and whose fortunes took unexpected turns. To the casual observer it has appeared that Lafayette played a series of games full of inconsistencies but the verdict of the experienced critic, who depends on a keener insight for his conclusions, is different. Playing as she did probably the hardest schedule that has ever been arranged for a Maroon and White team, Lafayette invariably surprised thc big imiversities with which she clashed and only failed to vanquish some lesser contenders when a combination of circumstances, likely to occur in any game, opposed her. Lafayette maintained the prestige which she has always held among the smaller colleges and published more widely her name and her achievements among the elite of the football world. 37
