...remain, there are plenty of new men ready and anxious to fill the vacancies, and moreover there is more than usual enthusiasm manifested by the college at large in the work of the team, and this alone is very gratifying and encouraging to the players. The principal fault apparent in the play of the men is a lack of quickness in picking up the ball and a want of sureness in catching it.

It is ridiculous to find fault with the management because a vacancy of only a month's standing has not been already filled. The position of steward is a responsible and important one and as such can not be filled at a moment's notice. We understand that there have been numerous applicants for the position, whose credentials and recommendation must be thoroughly examined before an appointment is made. It has taken several years...
