Graduate's View of Football Situation.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

What is the matter with football at Harvard? Even with three of the best men out of the game, was the supply of good men so meagre that Harvard could not make inroads on the Amherst line?

The papers in this part of the country describe the condition as deplorable; and it seems as if this crisis had one of two alternatives as an outcome--either a pitiable white-feather laying down of arms, or an awakening to unprecedented action, as a lesson learned from the Amherst game. I am one of thousands of graduates who are looking and hoping for the latter, when come the days of reckoning with the big elevens. C. P. M. RUMFORD '97.   Wilmington, Del., Oct. 12.
