prosed plan to play the next annual
game of football between U. ot U. ana

"A great deal of discussion is being

"The strongest argument in favor of

secured by such a game for botn institu

to the vety jntettion of college athletics.
Such a tendency is a; policy hich will
bring on evils that will ultimately lead
to tht abolishment of tHe game.
" 'Not only is the financial objection
a'osee, but in I laying the game away
from the college town, college spirit

from the college ampus, they soon lose
their' wlioleeomei ess and degenerate into

Fruit growers cannot afford to take

destroy some peet. This is probably true
yet,' but from the marked gain in vigor
and health which is observed to result
from winter spraying with the lime-sulphur
