74 Hobart Herald spread and over twenty-three thousand people (dreamed by the Editor) thronged the banks and massive grandstands. It was an inspiring sight to see the twenty-two sturdy (and otherwise) vrarriors trot onto the field amid the ear-splitting yells of the respective underclasses. The football rules for 1920 were observed throughout the game, and the new idea of having five referee’s seemed to be a very good one. The system of letting each team keep its own time seemed practicable and gives promise that in the future the services of a time keeper will not be needed. Keeler and Hauenstein demonstrated the new method of holding the line, and the new rule of adapting it to the position of the ball after each play instead of letting the position of the ball be judged by it, looks as if it were going to be a winner. In fact the whole game proved that the new rules can be nothing but a success. The Editor -wishes to inform the sports in college that all bets on the game were called off on account of the fact that it has been found that the Freshmen used a professional in the person of Dolittle, the famous fullback of the Oak-Corners’ Eagles. A call has been issued for Lacrosse men by the captain. The weather gives promise of many m< ire nice days before the snow comes and it is an excellent idea f< >r the men to get right to work so that time will not have to be spent next spring in letting the newr men learn the use of their sticks. Here’s a good chance for you, Freshmen. Men played on the varsity last year who never saw a lacrosse stick before they came to c< >llege. You don’t have to be an old hand at it to learn to play the game, or to make the team. Get out and try, you who do not take to baseball. You may not make good the first year, it is only the exceptions to the general rule who do, but the sooner you start and the more faith fully you stick to it will mean that you will become proficient just that much sooner. Don’t oblige the captain tu have to ask you to get out every day, but get out of your own accord, and get into the game.
