From all accounts the Navy is a strong opponent for this stage of the season, with an aggressive line and quite a variety of backfield men, one or two of whom will stand comparison with the best backs of the big teams. They are without the services of last year's remarkable ends, and are in this respect considerably handicapped.

The place of honor is given to an interesting comparison of the physical qualifications of various classes of students, under the title of "The Physique of Scholars, Students, and the Average Student," by Dr. Dudley A. Sargent. Dr. Sargent holds that an excessive attention to athletics is an evil not nearly so serious as over-attention to studies on the part of the high-stand men.
