Illustration “A Novel Game at McGill University” 1910

This file contains a full-page illustration of students playing a game, entitled "A novel game at McGill University, Montreal, the annual struggle between freshmen and 'sophomores.'" The caption for the illustration explains that the game is an initiation process: "The two sides arm themselves with bits of canvas and line up at opposite ends of the football field, where they are roped in lines or 'Morgues.' The object is for each side to tie up its opponents and carry them off to their own Morgue, where the prisoners sit until everything is over. Whichever side has most of the enemy in their Morgue in twenty minutes is claimed the victor. The Freshmen always get the worst of it, as they do not know each other and cannot combine like the Sophomores. The whole college turns out to watch the sport."

MacPherson, Douglas
