Brown will lose only five regulars from her successful 1915 football team by graduation, with the result that the prospects for next year are exceptionally good. Almost all of the players who came into prominence this season will be eligible next fall. The greatest blow to the team will be the loss of Captain Andrews at halfback, who all through the season has proved a capable leader. In addition to his work in the backfield, Andrews was the best punter on the team. He was also a drop kicker of some ability, his field goal being the only score...
...learning of the time, and the homes of the professors used to be thronged continuously with groups of students eager to discuss questions of all sorts. There existed, at places like Shady Hill, the home of Charles Eliot Norton, a stimulating atmosphere of intellectual intimacy and real friendship, approaching almost the informality of a Greek philosopher's "companions."

It does not allow time for men from the western Mississippi Valley and beyond to reach their homes by Christmas day or to remain for New Year's. And the latter is, especially in the West, almost as great a holiday as the former. To be sure, the Office often allows an extra day or two for such men, but this requires cutting, besides being inconsistent in assuming that western men can afford to miss a few hours' instruction, the omission of which would be fatal...
...University team has still to prove its ability as a scoring machine. The chief difficulty so far seems to lie in the poor shooting of the forwards. The defense has been uniformly good and the team works together fairly well but when the time to score comes, almost invariably the chance is lost through inaccurate shooting. The game with Princeton which has to be played over, is scheduled for Saturday...
