gi etffa - ,gi Sian? . a .--iiii W Football Review of 1910 A successful football season is not necessarily a victorious one. The season of IQIO has been a successful one for several reasons, for the spirit shown by the men on the team, their interest and efforts, and for the loyal support of the alumni and undergraduates. In Mr. Hammet we have one of the best coaches in the country, and with the introduction of his system under his direction Northwestern cannot be kept down. Much credit is due Prof. Fox for enthusing the men with the spirit that wins. We were unfortunate in scheduling a game with Illinois Wesleyan before the men were in physical condition. But the disgrace of this game was more than atoned fora week later when in a well-played game we defeated the University of Iowa by a score of IO-5. Chicago, our next opponentg with the aid of Dame Fortune, was able to celebrate after the game. The consoling feature of this contest was the way our men fought, never weakening, and to the last steadily gaining ground. On October 29th we met Wisconsin at Camp Randall where our team gave a wonderful exhibition of football. After five minutes of play Wisconsin had the ball on our one yard line and iirst down, but the spirit of the team was quickly revived and neither eleven was able to score. The last game of the season with Illinois was a source of disappointment of many of the rooters. Yet when we consider that the down-state eleven were undefeated contenders for the conference championship and that they scored upon the Purple because they possessed the su- preme power of physical perseverance, then we can understand why the score was what it was, -727 to o. a JOHN A.
