On the whole it seems to us rather a mistake to charge admission to a class game, even to the last of the series. We understand perfectly that the class nines incur expenses which have to be defrayed somehow; and that the easiest way to get subscriptions is by charging gate money. Nevertheless, anyone who saw the very small crowd at the final game yesterday, a crowd consisting largely of fellows who had friends with them, must have felt that even if the expenses were saved something else was lost. The enthusiasm was (for a class game) reduced to a minimum. When so much of the enjoyment of the class games consists in this feature of enthusiasm, it seems a pity that at the deciding game of all games, at the game where class spirit and cheering is apt to be at its highest, such an effective damper should be placed upon the proceedings. We fear it was a mistake.
