Monday afternoon there was enacted on our football field a little scene of which the students here should always remain ashamed. It was the first blot upon the conduct of the student body this year but the stain of it will last some time. That the spectators at a botball practice should break; up the scrimmage, even indirectly, is a thing that has never come to our notice before. For a certain number of the students of a college to go out and run off of the field the men who are striv ing to win honor and renown for tlieir alma mater, must be spoken of in lan guage that is brief and to the point but unpublishable. When the onlook ers act the hog and jump ; over 1 the fence onto the field of scrimmage fch'ey can but interrupt the play of the teams. A forward pass or a long end run ! be comes out of the question. When the coach asked the men to get off the field he spoke to them as a gentleman, to gentlemen, still some of the men we musttbeg the pardon of , truie .men. for usinor the term here reonamed grinning on the inside of tha fence Coach Brides did his part There has been manifested on the football field of late a slight tenden cy on the part of the side-line specta tors to laugh when any of the candi dates for a place on the team exhibits a little awkwardness. There is abso lntplv nothing to be approved of in that laugh. It is no laughing matter to the man who is awkward and can not help it, and if one is out on the sidelines in-the proper spirit - it will be no lauerhing matter to him. When one goes out to view the practice it is supposed to be because he takes an in terest in the men who are to repre sent the university of which he him wif is an integral part. What is there to laugh at then when a man who. as one of eleven, is to represent not only the eight hundred students here on the Hill but also the thousands nf.riti7.ens' to whom the success of the University-- is in every Wspntial of vital interest. What is there to laugh at when such a man ex hibits a little awkwardness in his i earnestness? . After all then it is not -the laugh that is to be objected to, it is the attitude of mind behind that laugh. When a man laughs he is but giving expression to what he thinks and feels That is where the trouble lies and that is where we must go to break it up. Just consider next time you feel inclined to laugh, what those men are out there for and what they are stnv ing to do. ,If you are capable put yourself in the frame of mind of the man you are laughing , at. bympa thize with him and you wont laugh. If you are unable to sympa thize with him you have no business witnessing that football practice and the greatest kindness you can do the university is to keep off the field. There is also another side to consider in this matter. There is no better method of stinging a man than laugh ing at him.. When one ot these men is working his hardest and hears someone laughing at him he sees at once that. the best he can do is unap preciated. He can but become embitter ed against the evident injustice of the treatment. A man who has become hardened by the bitterness' of his own heart is an enemy to himself and fli rsp he associates - with. . It is as serious a matter to start a man. on such a course, especially such a man as they generally are who are trying for the football team. When you, who have, been.-laughing -heretofore, feel inclined; to laugh again remember you are not only. harming your univer sity and the large, host: of: friends it has but you are also . contributing a great deal toward ruining some man's happiness-...
