Now that the foot-ball season has fairly obtained a start, we venture to suggest that the long established custom of playing scrub games be revived. One of the strongest arguments in support of this custom has been rendered ineffective by the inauguration of the class championship series, for, with four class elevens in constant practice and training, it can hardly be said that scrub games are needed to develop players for the 'varsity team. The second reason for the revival of scrub matches still remains in force, and to us it seems to be the one of most consequence. The small amount of open-air exercise taken by the majority of undergraduates has often called forth a great deal of unfavorable comment, and fairly enough, too. Tennis has, it is true, gone far toward establishing a new order of things, yet even tennis can hardly claim to offer itself as a substitute for the energetic exercise to be obtained on the foot-ball field. We should be glad, then, if the customary matches between club tables and societies could be renewed this fall.
