Occasionally, also, the Advocate informs the eleven or the nine that if they can play well enough they will win, provided they don't get over confident; and tells the captain of the lacrosse team that if he keeps his head he will have a soft thing. When these articles appear the college smiles and tolerates the paper. But when this infantile burbling is turned in serious...

In Massachusetts the same system has been adopted and an excellent yearly report...
