THE HAUGHTON CUPS SERIES.

There has always been one great objection to American football, -- that it was not a game, but a profession; that unlike baseball it could not be played for the sake of the game itself. "Scrub" baseball is admittedly possible, witness the success of the Leiter Cup series, but scrub football has been hitherto untried. This year however, the Haughton Cup is to be given for football, precisely as the Leiter Cup for baseball. Not only is there a chance for those who like the game, yet are not of University calibre, but there is also the opportunity to secure first class coaching, so that eventually there may be developed a greater amount of material for the University eleven.

So far there are but few names on the blue-book at Leavitt & Peirce's in which entries for the series close at noon today. If there is no greater response, the scheme is of course doomed to failure, but such an opportunity to "play football for the fun of it," and to develop University material should not be allowed to slip.
