...scientific knowledge and skill used in the engineering feats that are witnessed almost daily when a drive is in progress. To move forward the vast armies with which we are familiar in the war conditions of today and to move them forward, as is, of course, necessary, with proper speed and with proper support, is in itself a scientific achievement of a high order demanding at every phase the exercise of first-rate engineering skill. Indeed, the whole machinery of offence and defence requires for its development and upkeep a vast amount of scientific knowledge, and success or failure...
...first part of the period the men skated around the rink to accustom themselves to the artificial surface. Actual practice began when Gross chose four sets of forward lines and sent them down the ice against varied defence combinations. Emphasis was laid on accuracy and sureness rather than on speed, the men being coached to play slowly and carefully and to remain in their positions. After this the defencemen were given the puck and made several attempts to score against different goal guards...
Auguste Rodin's beautiful maxim, "Lenteur est beaute," manifestly is not a favorite with our present-day American universities. Just now the watchword with them is "Speed up the courses." To cite an example, in his annual report to the trustees of Boston University, Dr. Murlin, the president of that institution, advocates a general acceleration of the courses--and not only that; but an all-the-year-round session. Under Dr. Murlin's plan, which is devised for the benefit of busy young people who have something else in the world to do besides study, the instruction at a university...
...weighty commission to execute. We refer to the support of the Y. M. C. A. fund. The game in the Stadium this afternoon will not be a valid reason for any undergraduate mental lapses about this duty. The man who has not yet subscribed, we urge to act with speed. The man who has not subscribed and does not intend to, we should much prefer not to recognize as a member of the University...
...unbeatable but so had Yale for many years until Haughton's men attacked them. The Navy material is all from All-New England; with Murray, Cannell, Enwright and Casey as a backfield the Ayer linesmen are in for a busy afternoon. It will be a game marked by brilliancy, speed and fumbles...
