...orchestra does not seem to have suffered from the changes which have been made in it. Some roughness was perceptible in the playing, but this was probably due to the unaccustomed nearness of the listener. The "Faust" overture was very finely played, all the crescendo's and the principal climax being well worked up. The symphony, the work of a young Viennese, of not much experience in orchestral writing, is a truly musicianly and interesting composition. Although not sketched in the broad proportions we find in Beethoven and Schumann, it has the true symphonic character. Of the four movements...
...every student should realize that the full benefits of a college course cannot be gained without his patronizing these organizations to a greater or less degree. It is very fitting, and not at all surprising, that the Union should undertake the establishing of a reading-room, and it would seem as if, on account of its feeling the need more strongly and realizing the benefit more perfectly, the Union ought to succeed in its undertaking. We sincerely hope that the list of names on the book at the Co-operative Society's office will be greatly lengthened by Thursday...
...play as if they were out there to amuse themselves, and as if it did not make any difference whether they worked or not. They do not block hard, nor break through with any life, and they are very slow about lining up. None of them seem to have any idea about blocking off the other side when their own half backs make a rush, and when a rusher does get the ball, he generally loses it, either when he is tackled, or by reckless passing. There is plenty of passing done, altogether too much in fact, for the chief...
...half backs, Perkins and Scott, both tackle well, Scott especially so, getting his man around the waist nearly every time. Their kicking is rather below the average of freshman half backs. Their great fault is their seeming inability to catch the ball. It is rather the exception than the rule when they catch a ball kicked over by the opposite half backs. This is a very serious fault, and one which is perfectly inexcusable, as it can be overcome by constant practice. Perry has been playing full back. His catching is poor, and his tackling only fair. He may improve...
Above all, the men on the team and all those who have not yet succeeded in getting on, should remember that no one's place is safe if he does not work. At present the men seem to think that as they play a little better than the unsuccessful candidates, they are sure to remain on the team. The captain ought to be doing his best all the time to work up new men, and the old men should be dismissed at once if they get into loose habits of playing...
