Several times during the Newark game yesterday afternoon, the spectators-or rather a small number of the spectators-hooted at and applauded poor playing by the visiting team. It is to be hoped that the greater part of the offenders were not students; but unfortunately some of them wore blazers and a part of the blame therefore falls upon the college.

Such offences against decency cannot be too severely censured. The Newark men behaved like gentlemen and were entitled to be treated as gentlemen. When so much has been said of the danger of associating with professionals, it is humiliating that the first complaint must be made against college men. The offenses yesterday it is to be presumed, were not intentional but were due to thoughtlessness and the excitement of the close contest. Under such circumstances, if an outlet of pent-up enthusiasm is absolutely necessary it can always be found in cheering the good plays instead of in hooting at the poor ones. The sentiment of the college on such matters is too well known to be more elaborately expressed. The men attending the games must understand that such boorishness will not be tolerated, and hereafter any sign of it should be promptly suppressed.
