...point, is now one of her strongest. We have made our fair share of base hits in every game yet played, with very creditable totals. An advantageous business offer, and early graduation in consequence, made necessary the resignation of Mr. Winton, who for two years filled so well the difficult position of first base. We have filled the vacancy much better than we thought possible. Larkin, though a new man so far, heads our batting order...
...great purpose of all is apt to be forgotten, and their most valuable possession - i. e., time - to be unappreciated;" 3. "We live here in an undomestic and unsocial state."

...make an attempt at goal as a last extremity before losing the ball. The side forced back to its own lines will still, however, be put at a great disadvantage, since the safety touch-down rule is imperative and punt-overs in such a case will be extremely difficult, and consequently hazardous. It will be interesting to notice the shifts which the different teams will adopt next fall to get out of such a dangerous position...
