We hear that both Princeton and Harvard have exceptionally strong teams in practice, but we don't mean to let them get away with us if we can help it. There will be no holding or slugging allowed in the game this year, so our men will be specially trained against these defects.

The opportunity for such discipline, the preacher continued, had been enjoyed by those young lives before him. They might not carry away much detailed knowledge; every one after an examination has experienced the shedding from his brain, as from a roof, of the floods of facts that have been poured upon it.
