...undergraduate has little desire to hasten the process so thoughtfully provided by Providence. Hence the daily advent of the goody and her dust-provoking broom is a constant trial. He leaves each morning for his nine o'clock with the tragic assurance that he will return to find a smooth, even coat of the vital principle spread over his table-top, his "English Composition," and his haberdashery.

Coach Nickalls did not work them very hard, however, and spent most of the time drilling them on a smooth finish and recovery. He expects to begin his regular program of hard work tomorrow...
