The second takes a different ground and attributes our ill success to our social system. It argues that the athletics of the freshman class have their interests turned aside by their election to a sophomore society, "which takes his time and strength away from his athletics." This leads to a state where "athletics are in the hands of a chosen minority-chosen...
