So it is about the polo club. In my day we looked with suspicion upon all freshman societies, and the men who tried to get them up or were prominent in them rarely amounted to much in the class afterwards; and it has happened that I have heard rather unfavorably of the polo club.

ossible. White House, October 11, 1905. DEAR TED: I was delighted to find from your last letters that you are evidently having a pretty good time in spite of the newspaper and kodak creatures. I guess that nuisance is now pretty well abated. Every now and then they will do something horrid; but I think you can safely, from now on, ignore them entirely. I shall be interested to hear how you get on, first of all with your studies, in which you seem to have started well, and next with football. I expected that you would find it hard to compete with the other candidates for the position of end, as they are mostly heavier than you; especially since you went off in weight owing to the excitement of your last weeks of holiday in the summer. Of course the fact that you are comparatively light tells against you and gives you a good deal to overcome; and undoubtedly it was from this standpoint not a good thing that you were unable to lead a quieter life toward the end of your stay at Oyster Bay.  IF POSSIBLE WHITE HOUSE OCTOBER ELEVENTH NINETEEN O FIVE DEAR TAD I WAS DELIGHTED TO FIND FROM YOUR LAST LETTERS THAT YOU ARE EVIDENTLY HAVING A PRETTY GOOD TIME IN SPITE OF THE NEWSPAPER AND KODAK CREATURES I GUESS THAT NUISANCE IS NOW PRETTY WELL ABATED EVERY NOW AND THEN THEY WILL DO SOMETHING HORRID BUT I THINK YOU CAN SAFELY FROM NOW ON IGNORE THEM ENTIRELY I SHALL BE INTERESTED TO HEAR HOW YOU GET ON FIRST OF ALL WITH YOUR STUDIES IN WHICH YOU SEEM TO HAVE STARTED WELL AND NEXT WITH FOOTBALL I EXPECTED THAT YOU WOULD FIND IT HARD TO COMPETE WITH THE OTHER CANDIDATES FOR THE POSITION OF END AS THEY ARE MOSTLY HEAVIER THAN YOU ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU WENT OFF IN WAIT OWING TO THE EXCITEMENT OF YOUR LAST WEEKS OF HOLIDAY IN THE SUMMER OF COURSE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE COMPARATIVELY LIGHT TELLS AGAINST YOU AND GIVES YOU A GOOD DEAL TO OVERCOME AND UNDOUBTEDLY IT WAS FROM THIS STANDPOINT NOT A GOOD THING THAT YOU WERE UNABLE TO LEAD A QUIETER LIFE TOWARD THE END OF YOUR STAY AT OYSTER BAY
