Forty-one men met in the trophy room of the gymnasium last night in response to the call for candidates for the foot ball squad. Captain Trafford explained that the squad this year was designed to be a feeder to the university eleven, rather than to the class elevens, as last year. It will be kept at work for five weeks.

Strange to say most of them find it quite easy to get in their usual work, though some of them of course have slightly different motions on the slide. These differences in the use of the sliding seat are, to be sure, precisely...
