The game today will probably be the hardest we shall have to play this year and defeat can be no disgrace. Victory will be creditable in the highest degree.

At this time the freshmen are especially busy in preparing for the approaching examinations, one of which is Trigonometry. Either because the present freshman class is particularly brilliant or from some...
