# Analysis of "The Second Table" Editorial Page This page contains three editorials with period illustrations rather than political cartoons. The content addresses: **"Football"** - Discusses college football's place in university curricula, noting reforms to reduce injuries and "rough" play. References George Huff, athletic director at the University of Illinois, who apparently advocated subduing fowl on farms. The piece critiques coaches encouraging brutality. **"The Lover's Wish"** - A decorative illustration of a wishbone with handwritten text expressing romantic sentiments. **"Thanksgiving"** - Argues for better observance of Thanksgiving, suggesting it deserves equal prominence to Christmas and New Year's, and offers practical holiday advice about budgeting. The page appears primarily editorial rather than satirical, reflecting early 20th-century concerns about sports brutality and holiday commercialization.
