commend the students for their line spirit
of sportsmanship and conduct shown at
the game. He said that two things struck
him as admirable in the players. He marveled
at the physical condition of the
team, by which they were able to withstand
the gruelling punishment to which
they were subjected. How they could
rush time after time and still emerge
uninjured was wonderful.
He then cited the sporting manner in
