...editorials are a trifle sleepy, except the one urging a new bridge on Boylston street. The need of this improvement has doubtless been felt by every man who has listened to the creaking chains and rusty joints of the present structure. "At the Gate" by R. W. Child '03, is very obvious as far as the plot goes, after the first page. The effort to introduce more of the college element into college stories, however, is commendable and does much toward making it acceptable to undergraduate readers. "From Oxford to Henley-on-Thames," by F. R. Dickinson '03, is pleasantly...

In all, Pennsylvania gained many yards, but the gains were not consecutive and, without gaining that is steady, no team can win except on flukes or on its opponents' mistakes.
