...make an advanced study of any subject when he has mastered little more than its rudiments. This fact is recognized by those who administer the elective system, for no student is denied the privilege of changing his field for concentration, unless it is suspected that he is trying to shift from a hard field to an easy one. The system is one thing in theory and becomes another in practice. Even in practice it is not perfectly elastic. For a student who finds that he wishes to concentrate in a field that does not require much work may find himself...
...this game which resulted in the seemingly radical shift which had its first tryout against Brown. The showing was, however, rather inconclusive, and the eleven did not give the impression of playing as a successfully rejuvenated team should; the substitutes, who had been considered unduly weak since the touchdown scored upon them by Cornell, seemed to play almost as well as the regulars.

...members. Moreover, Bradlee showed himself almost indispensable by the phenomenal brilliancy of his offensive playing. This, together with Cowen's weakness at guard, Storer's superiority as a tackle rather than an end, Gilman's adaptability, and Hardwick's experience at the wing position, are the reasons for the shift. Today's contest, the first real try- out of the new order, will spell its success or failure...
...lost 3 pounds in weight, now averaging 180, but to offset this slight decrease has gained somewhat in experience. The backfield is much stronger defensively, and should still maintain by far the greater part of its slashing at- tack in Brickley and Mahan. If things go well today, the shift will be permanent; if they do not further changes are likely to occur...
