Dodge, left tackle, is very erratic, but is improving slowly. He fails to keep low after once charging his man, and does not clear his opponent out of the way with regularity. Clapp, left tackle, gets entangled with his opponent constantly, and covers practically no ground at all; he is too easily brushed aside and pocketed if two men are sent against...
Goodhue, quarter-back, is new to the position, but has shown such speed, kicking ability, and willingness to learn that he may yet prove to be a good man for the place. He is erratic and weak in tackling, and consequently will need much coaching. Marshall, quarter-back, seems to lack the ability to drive his team at top speed.

The need of this improvement has doubtless been felt by every man who has listened to the creaking chains and rusty joints of the present structure. "At the Gate" by R. W. Child '03, is very obvious as far as the plot goes, after the first page. The effort to introduce more of the college element into college stories, however, is commendable and does much toward making it acceptable to undergraduate readers. "From Oxford to Henley-on-Thames," by F. R. Dickinson '03, is pleasantly...
