...secret practice on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. Returning from this they played two sharply contested halves with a team composed entirely of comparatively recent graduates who were formerly 'varsity men themselves, and who showed clearly that they had not forgotten how to play the game.

...published there which are not signed by an instructor or some one whom we know to be responsible; no office notices will be published unless signed by one of the college officers. This plan has obvious advantages over the old scheme of putting all the notices under one head. Often times notices have lost their point by insertion in out-of-the-way places.

As a rule the halfbacks kept well with their blockers, but Corbett showed a strong tendency to break away and shift for himself. As it happened he was unusually successful in dodging his way out from the crowd, but he would never have been...
