...disagreeable day and it was not a very interesting game, so most of the spectators left the field at the end of the first half; they thereby missed the best part of the game. During the first half both teams played carelessly, and with a seeming lack of interest in their work. The team play was wretched; it is true the first eleven was pitted against thirteen men, but this is not sufficient excuse for the fact that during the greater part of the first half the ball was at the 'Varsity end of the field.

It was shown that a man may understand a subject thoroughly and yet be unable to impart his knowledge to others, simply because he does not know how to do it. Assuming...
...college men can afford to buy racing machines for themselves, and they are very heavily handicapped if they ride road machines; while if the association buys some racers, as is now expected, it will bring out men who have ability but are now kept off the track by the lack of proper machines. A nominal rental would be charged for the use of the bicycles in training and in races to insure care...
