...once been defeated by the same team, 11-6; while in the game with the Harvard Freshmen, Andover won, 5-0. In comparing these games, it is noticeable that in the second half of the last Yale game, Andover was clearly outplayed, and proved unable to resist Yale's aggressive attack; While at no time was Harvard able even to threaten the Andover goal. Like the Harvard team, Yale was weak on the defense, and allowed long gains around her ends...

He advised young men entering politics to ally themselves to one party or another, yet to have courage to resist all measures that they considered unworthy.

The playing of the back-field is also of a very high order, as the men are fast and follow their interference closely. The most serious defect in the team hitherto has been the lack of a punter. In the game Saturday with the Orange Athletic Club, however...

"The Story of John Reilly, Teamster," which is signed "1883" is a vivid sketch based on a tragedy of family life--the mistaken striving of an Irish girl toward a life which was too dazzling for her ignorance to resist, and the savage grief of her disappointed brother. "In the Thirsty Land" by Rowland Thomas takes its color from the South African war, but it is by no means a common place treatment. Simple pathos is interwoven with a powerful description of the mazes of a wounded man's wandering thoughts...
