gbi ortliwesternfar Book c same thing for these departments of athletics as is now being done for basket-ball and must eventually be accomplished for football. V After the partial test already given the experiment, those who are best able to judge are agreed that it has been a success. What is more, they feel confident that in the future North- western will be cited as the pioneer of the newer, saner, and more sportsmanlilce athletic system- a system which in time will very closely approximate the English systern,where every man in college takes an active part in some form of athletics, where intercollegiate sport will have its place, but where inter-class and 'inter-department contests will be closest to the hearts of the students-bringing all the classes and all the departments closer together and making for a deeper and more healthy type of college spirit. The Football Season of 1906 In the athletic annals for IQO6 football at Northwestern Hlls an unique page. Paradoxical as it may seem, there was more football, and, at the same time, less football than ever before. Inter-collegiate contests have gone, the training table and the professional coach are traditions and the purple 'varisty is no more. Enter the class teams with the nondescript uniforms and their lack of knowledge of the game as compared with those of former days with whom football was a business. But, on the other hand, if football is played for sport and exercise alone, the class games have furnished greater opportunities for the average student than were possible under the old regime. Faults are apparent in both systems, but the power of choice does not abide in the Syllabus. During the whole season four class teams fought for the Championship of the College. Two games were played each Saturday. On one gala day the department schools came out to spend the afternoon. The Dental team defeated the Medical School and the Law representatives fought a select team from the Liberal Arts to a tie. The class games were planned so that each class met all the others. Owing to the new rules, numerous ties resulted until the only contests left were the Seniors and the Freshmen. The final game Was stubbornly fought. When time was called for the last half neither team had scored. It was agreed by the captains to play another period and still another until darkness interfered or the game was decided. The Fresh- men were finally defeated but not while an ounce of strength was left. The Seniors won by sheer endurance, which by no means detracts from the glory of victory. The season was successful because a preconceived plan of work failed in no detail what- soever. Football was kept alive. The men who played learned to play for love of the game. Although we may regret the passing of the inter-collegiate contest, we would be slow to declare class football a failure at Northwestern. VV' Potro Wig 20
