To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

"What are officials for in a football game?" was asked by many spectators last Saturday. The slugging was open, wholly undisguised from the beginning to the end of the game. Does anyone doubt that public opinion would sustain an umpire or referee who, at the first manifest instance of this kind, should order the violator of the rules off the field? At one football game last year I saw an Englishman beside himself with righteous wrath at one instance of this kind, and heard him plainly speak out his mind. The matter was so notorious at the recent game that disgust became manifest. Again I ask with many others, "what are umpires or referees for if such conduct is allowed?" OLD GRADUATE.
