Before that, five or six years before, they'd played, but about that time football got into disfavour and the faculty stopped it.

I believe they allowed the hall teams to play, but that didn't last long.
My second year here they lifted the ban and we started a team.

Of course it didn't amount to much that first year and we got licked right and left.

The next year, though, we did a good deal better, and last year we turned out a mighty good team.

We lost only two games out of nine and tied one.
