...speeches and five for the rebuttals. Hon. Michael J. Murray presided, and the judges were Hon. Henry S. Dewey, Hon. D. L. V. Moffett and Hezekiah Butterworth, Esq. The best speech was made by M. Seasongood, who brought out his arguments very forcibly, and was quick in detecting the weak points of his opponent...
...editorials are all good. The leading contributions, long, carefully arranged and artistically written stories, are a happy exchange for the usual expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon. Jack Castleton, a shy, weak youth of the "gilded set" and the educated valet are familiar figures; but the writer puts them through their parts with skill and humor. A throughly studied final situation gives the sketch the needed balance...
...used is slightly precocious, but this--if anything--adds to the charm of the story. In style, "In the Study" is the equal of any story which has appeared in the Advocate this year. "Seven Hours," by M. Seasongood '00, is not a very clever tale. Its plot is weak, and the dialect which is sprinkled through it is hardly successful. In "The Hangers -On," by L. D. Humphrey, is seen that much over worked form of the short story,--the expanded daily theme...

His line-bucking was strong and his run of seventy yards on a fake kick was the longest of the game. Hersey did some good individual rushing, but was of little use in the interference. His substitute, Kernan, did some remarkable punting in the last few minutes...
...poor and the men had no success in following the ball. Great effort was made to perfect team play which resulted in good pushing in the line plays. As Hallowell was slightly injured and Campbell did not go into the line-up, the work of the ends was weak. The kicking by Sawin, however, was good, especially a pretty goal from the field. Reid also was kept out of the practice by a sore on his kicking foot. Ellis's principal fault was in mixing up the interference. There was less offside and holding than usual...
