...When the ball passes out of bounds the player first touching it shall advance to the point where the ball went out and throw it in at right angles to the line...
...Holyoke, probably as many as in Matthews or Weld, but the records cannot be found. The totals are: paying members this year, 78; last year, probably 235. In training for the races, Weld alone has been entitled to boats for both crews, while Holworthy, using 10 seats, had a right to 3 3/1.

But the satisfactoriness of such an election must depend, as in all such cases where restrictions are done away with, on the gentlemanly and honorable spirit which the influential men shall give it; and certainly such a spirit we have a right to expect from a class that has been so generally free from the wire-pulling of mystic-lettered organizations, and the petty partisanship of schools and cliques. Not for an instant would I advance the idea that open elections secure perfection in representation; for that desirable object has never been...
