...light workout on account, of a bad leg, while Captain D. S. Holder was plainly not up to the mark and was kept out of the rough work. Any or all of these men may start Saturday, but Ryan and Trainer Caples were extremely doubtful. Grew and C. Hubbard seem permanently shelved by injury. And Ryan lost his best line-plunging back in mid-October, when Carnegie broke his ankle...

This requirement has been confined to this one division, and has had the effect of discouraging many men from concentrating in Economics. These men seem to have turned to English as the alternative...
