ES THE EARTH WITH VARSITY! * * * * * Kingston Football Team Meets with a Crushing Defeat at the Hands of the Second Eleven. * * * * * SCORE, 28 to 4. * * * * * VARSITY OUTPLAYED AT EVERY POINT. * * * * * Popular Opinion Forces Captain Clayton to Resign in Favor of "Tug" Robinson. * * * * * KINGSTON TEAM TO BE COMPLETELY REORGANIZED. * * * * * Mr. Robinson Declares that Favoritism will Have no Part in the Make-up of the New Team, and Magnanimously Offers Ex-Captain Clayton a Position on the New Eleven.

It was evident that a fierce struggle had taken place in the room. The nine Lakerimmers stood aghast, staring at each other in stupefaction.
