...consider them in order, taking the lowest class, the Carnivora, first. This class comprises all proctors of prey, and it is indeed a numerous one. Its habits are strange, and form a very interesting study, and that you may know them the better, I will mention a few of their chief characteristics. They sit around on benches and pretend to be reading, but beware, they are fooling thee! They sit on the benches, and, having pricked the newspapers they read full of pin-holes, they peep out and await their chance. It soon comes, and as a cat, from behind...
...third and last class of this strange order of beings are the Anthropoids, i. e. those having the form and appearance of men. This is a comparatively small class, and I liken them unto the grains of wheat that fell upon stony ground, for they would seem to be capable of bringing forth fruit if they were only in their right position.

...also has an awkward habit of sticking his elbows out at the finish. Littaner reaches out too much with his shoulders, hurries the recover, and does not sit well up at the finish. He wants more "lift" at the beginning and more snap. Littaner improves very fast, and his form is one of the best. LeMoyne, '77, does not sit up well at the finish, reaches round with his outside shoulder, and does not keep his back straight. LeMoyne is the shortest and lightest candidate, but does his full share of the work: should he part with his faults...
