The foot-ball season of 1885 may be said fairly to have opened now that the candidates for the eleven have begun to practice on Jarvis. It is useless to expect an eleven hastily formed and scantily trained, to do more than creditably represent the university in the games of this fall, even if we are so fortunate as to be allowed to retain our position in the inter-collegiate league. Victory can hardly be looked for this year. Yet we have the consciousness that the labor involved in a course of training during the coming month will have its reward in the improved play of next year's team, and we feel sure that every player will do his utmost to bring up the standard of our play to the level of that attained at other colleges.
