...thousand ways of spelling Shakespeare's name. Would it not be advisable for the "Shakespeare" Club to buy this little book select the most curious spelling and adopt it as their way of spelling the name, for have they not the sanction of Mr. Davenport Adams? I am quite certain they would find as much authority for so doing as for the way they have...
...second half was to a certain extent like the first. '87's heavy rush line carried the ball right down towards the seniors goal. Wiestling tried for a goal from the field. It was now '86's turn to brace, and brace they did with a vengeance. Up the field the ball went in spite of everything '87 could do, Burnett, Austin, and Woodbury making good rushes.

These evils, however, are rarely pointed out. It is taken for granted that everyone realizes them.

...first. The plan of forming a new league to consist of the smaller colleges, is merely a plan of forgetting, or trying to forget, that any larger colleges exist. But the larger colleges do, and will exist, and if in truth they are the champions, the fact that certain other colleges have first places in another league will neither add to the dignity of those colleges nor help them in their proficiency at base-ball. The case is like that of the University of Pennsylvania, which formed a boating league consisting of itself only, and finding itself number...
