To the Editors of the Crimson:

The gentleman who found the lack of singing at Wednesday's practice so grievous an omission, must have somewhat perverted ideas on the game of football. The question resolves itself into this: whether we wish to go to Soldiers Field on Saturday, to see an exhibition of manly sport, or to attend a musical festival. If the visitors from New Haven deem it a good opportunity to display their vocal talent, is that necessarily a reason why we should do likewise? Let us rather wait until the end of the game, and then, if the result has justified it, let us break forth into fitting paeans of victory.

But there are many reasons why we should not sing at the game itself. In the first case, the noise is liable to interfere with the signals. Secondly, we hope to spend some time and effort in cheering, which is a far more spontaneous method of showing our sympathy or appreciation than by the help of illsung melodies. Also some of us wish to see the game; and this cannot best be done with but one eye on the gridiron, and the other on a song-sheet. Lastly, the assignment of seats by the management has rendered good uniform singing impossible, unless we include the "basso" of our fathers, and the "soprano" and "contralto" of our mothers and sisters, I doubt if they would be willing.
