...usual secret practice of the University eleven began yesterday afternoon, although it has not been the custom in former years to hold it so long before the final games. The first eleven was able to break up the guards-back plays completely, owing to the presence of Burden in the line-up and to the improvement Coach Lewis has brought about in the defense.

With the evident purpose of outdoing Stevenson, the writer has produced a story which sounds strained and selfconscious. Although pertinent and novel expressions are usually better than conventional ones, yet he uses phrases which are not only inapt but objectionable in their unconventionality...
