...less than two weeks left before the April vacation; the class games occur immediately after the vacation. If the Class of 1917 is to be represented in a worthy manner in the class series, and if, what is more important, the class is to give a good account of itself in games with Andover and other outside teams, it is imperative that the number of candidates for the team be at once increased. Two weeks is but a short time to develop a passable team from the best material; when the number of candidates is barely sufficient to make...

More attention should be bestowed by the coach upon the interaction of the characters, their stage positions, and their gestures...
...student life. His observations are pointed and keen; indeed, such ones as, "The German is perpetually hungry," and, "Akademische Freiheit is the Veritas of the German University," are almost epigrammatic.
