Officers are elected annually, and managers of the various branches of sport are appointed by this body. Their decision on matters of internal contest is final. Zllnnthall F antiquity of origin is to be considered as constituting a claim to honor, the game of football stands pre-eminently among the sports of the English-speaking people. For at least 600 years full-blooded people have loved the action, the rush and the struggle of the manly game. Kings with their edicts, divines with their sermons, wits with their caustic ridicule, phychologists with their weighty theorie, and scholars with their cultured -scorn have lent their talents to its prosecution, yet its defense with no assistance, other than the spontaneous approval of two nations of action-loving men, has so completely triumphed that the game has been handed down to- us intact, still popular and bearing the marks of a brilliant future. All things have had their beginning and from what I have learned of the game of our remote forefathers, the Greeks deserve the credit of the origin of our present national winter sport. They were the first to play a game with a ball, the object of which was to advance it by force beyond the opponent's line or goal. The rules were simple and admitted of great latitude, namely, any means in their power. From Greece the game made its way tsomewhat changedl into England several centuries later, and was there, in spite of its disfavor at court, nursed and developed at R b College until in the winter of 1873-74 it assumed new proportions in the form of ug Y an intercollegiate contest between Oxford and Cambridge. From this date its progress d lo ment was truly meteoric ln an incredably short time American universi- and eve p . ties had embraced it with open arms, and had incorporated it in their curriculum-s. Like all importations it made its thorough course of naturalization, preciating its possibilities, it had practically assumed its present form. first appearance in the East, and there underwent a and before we of the West had an opportunity of ap- detailed metamorphosis during the last fifteen years, by Dr. Heller, appears in another part of our annual, and a true biographical sketch by ' the West and in Dr. Wyatt of the heroes who preserved the dignity of the game in in this issue, and we trust that every lover of his Alma Mater A masterful account of its U.

St. Mar s scored first one a pretty forward pass, next on a fluke and finally on a Y goal from the field. The fluke was the result of a misunderstanding. The umpire whis- tled an offside on one of our men and mistaking the whistle for that of the referee, no ' l t hdown.

During the first half every third down started a 40 or 50-yard sprint in which half of our boys and a few of the Normals took part, the man with the ball l T l th t the man acting as pace maker. So numerous were the scores made by U. M. C. a who failed to carry the ball over the line was the exception.
