...moment he began to play that he was the most promising candidate for that position they had ever seen. They said so to friends of mine long before any of us who were on the outside knew that Filley had any chance of making the team. It was a serious mistake, and unfair to Filley and the College, to suppose that he could become a finished end with the little practice he had. But it is absurd, when one knows the facts, to hint that there was favoritism. Investigation will show that the complaints about other instances are equally unfounded...
...diagonal formation, evolved a vigorous attack. The line, however, has not as yet exhibited the effectiveness of the men behind it. As only four of the regular players on last year's eleven returned to the University this fall, the scarcity of experienced men early manifested itself as a serious obstacle to the rapid development of a team.

Young, educated, the masters of wealth and leisure, with no-large es- tates to take their attention and no active interest in politics, the possessors merely of brutal cash, they have become one of the most serious problems of the church. The solution of these problems, the church finds in the priesthood of the laity. This is the reason that it has the right to ask college men to be earnest and to follow the example of such men as George Frisbie Hoar, whose name...
