...again this year. The University team finished fifth last year, but although the present team is fairly strong, it has been beaten by Yale, which in turn lost to Princeton, so that its chances seem rather doubtful. However, the team has been improving steadily, and should do better than last year...
...Fires," is for the most part well-written, though the time sequence is clumsily handled at one point. The description of the lover's symptoms is now and then extravagant, and if the same restraint had been observed throughout that appears in the conclusion, the effect would have been better. Mr. Dorey's sketch of "An American on the Thames" is amusing, though the humor is sometimes a little forced.

The team made a somewhat better showing, however, in the game with Springfield Training School, in which 17 points to 0 were scored. Possibilities for a great eleven were shown, yet brilliant individual football rather than steady team play characterized the game. On October 14 an old-fashioned, line-smashing style of play enabled Yale...
