A football team would certainly be possible here at Armour. It would prob- ably experience the same degree of success as the other teams, as it would encounter the same difficul— ties. S. Jeilery, ’32, E. E. I believe a football team would be something very practical for the students of Armour to attempt. I also believe it would be successful, because: there is plenty of material to work with. l. G. Kata, ’30, Ch. E. I suppose it would. I’d like to see a football team here.
