After almost two weeks' practice the freshman football squad is commencing the round into shape. Although the number of men out for the team has grown smaller, there are still about 70 working at every afternoon. Last week's work insisted entirely in teaching the candidates the fundamentals, with plenty of work in tackling the dummies. At the end of the week the squad was divided into four teams, each team with its own substitutes. Although the elevens are designated by the letters A. B.

The daily row has consisted of a long paddle to the Union Boat Club and a two-mile jog along the Parkway. Under this strenuous training the men are rapidly rounding into shape.

Quite evidently the Monthly is through, for a year at least, with being a literary safe-deposit vault. Under the new board it appears bent on emerging from those purple shades where the pleasant but inconsequent art of canning the "best literary product of the University...
