...awkward and rough English, and which is therefore of no possible advantage to him as an exercise. Now if more care and judgment were used, all this might be avoided, and we should at least be spared the trouble of having to go over a paper at break-neck speed, in addition to enduring all that makes such an examination most undesirable...
...nine have been brighter, for only one of last year's players has left college, and the nine will go upon the field in the spring with a year's experience.

The result was immediately apparent, for they seemed to glide away from their opponents at a rapid rate. The sophomores and freshmen were still struggling for last place, with...
