Communication.

We invite all members of the University to contribute to this column, but we are not responsible for the sentiments expressed.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

According to the present arrangement, the class game between '93 and '94 will be played on Wednesday afternoon, the date of the 'varsity game with the Chicago Athletic Club. The latter game as everybody knows, will doubtless prove the best of the season with the exception of the one with Yale. It seems unfortunate that when the class game might as well as not be held on some other day, that the two class elevens should be obliged to miss it.

By far the greatest objection, however, is the effect that such an arrangement will have on the attendance. Few if any can be expected to prefer the class to the 'varsity game. There would be little inspiration to the elevens to hear the loyal members of the classes of '93 and '94 cheering vociferously for Harvard on Jarvis, while a few little muckers alone stood on the side lines on Nortons and watched the struggle between the Seniors and Juniors.

I would suggest that efforts be made to have the 'varsity practice on Tuesday on Soldiers Field, and to have '93 and '94 use Jarvis. '95 and '96 could play their game at the same time on Nortons, and the finals could be arranged for either Thursday or Friday. I hope the captains and managers of the two elevens concerned will at least consider this suggestion which I make, feeling as I do that it expresses the sentiment of many besides myself.
