ny lookers-on, for no game is so interesting to watch asfoot ball. The unnecessary roughness which has been more than ever displayed thisyear threatens somewhat its popularity. It deters men from entering into the practicegames, and the substitution of brute force for skill detracts much from the spectacularinterest of the matches. Another danger stands in the way of foot ball. There hasbeen always much difficulty in finding a suitable place for the practice games. It hasbeen hard to find a lot, and when found, the tenure has been uncertain. One desirablelot after another has been cut up, and Lake Place, as it is called, which is now used,may at any time become a public thoroughfare. Foot ball would lose much or all ofits popularity did the students have to travel out to Hamilton Park each time theywished to play. It is very desirable that there should be within a convenient distancefrom the college a suitable spot for the practice of foot ball, base ball, and other manlysports. SMrUU
