When the problems of the present were in process of birth, together with his well-known interest in these problems and the literary expression of them, especially fit him to undertake the work.

The coaches consider Ryerson and Zander as prominent end material to fill Shelton's place, and Bard and Dixon fit candidates for the line. The greatest problem will be to find a man to take Cool's place at centre. Hoffman and Benedict, substitute backs, will be good material in another year, as will Van Horn. Bretz, the freshman quarterback, a fast, heady player, a good kicker...
