# Judge Magazine Commentary - October 16, 1928 This page satirizes early 1920s college culture and gender dynamics. The three text columns mock: 1. **"Reminder"**: An absent-minded professor finally remembering his student's birthday request 2. **"Modern Lullaby"**: A parody poem about raising children, emphasizing strength and obedience 3. **"Team Work"**: Commentary on college women's newfound roles, including girls' football and a reference to a woman who idolizes a "big navy man" at Annapolis The large cartoon below depicts a chaotic football scene with players flying through the air, labeled "When good fellows get together." This appears to satirize the rough, comedic nature of college football and male camaraderie during this era. The humor relies on exaggeration and physical slapstick typical of 1920s sports commentary.
