...case has been reported to us of a man, who, four years ago in the parade, secured fifty-seven handkerchiefs from fair hands along the route. We wonder if that record was broken last night...

The undergraduates are very nearly evenly divided in their preference as to candidates; a state of affairs which has resulted in increasing the desire of all to do something to help along the cause which they have chosen for their own. All the torchlight parading, past and to come, is very well in its way, serving as it does to show the good will of the students toward one or the other of the leading nominees, but its effect on the outside...
...worst thing, however, is their high tackling.

With one or two exceptions, our rushers...
