CHAMPIONS RUGBY.
Says it is Not a Game to be Con-
ciemned by a Casual Observer.
Tihe Rugby football game, which
is one of the most manly sports
participated in by a university or
college, is severely criticised and
condemned by the casual observer,
who does not understand the merits
of the game. It appears to these
observers that the sole object of the
game is that eleven young men ar-
rayed in woolen skull-caps, canvas
jackets, black knickerbockers, blue
stockings, canvas shoes, in company
with an innocent brown covered
leather ball, wish to push eleven
other youn men likewise attired
and less muscular off the face of the
earth.
