Recent football seasons.--especially the one just past--have shown us that we do not lack men with enough sand and skill to deserve to be on winning teams. What we do lack each year is the benefit of the past year's experience. Football coaches are no different from other men in their failure to profit by the experience which others, have had. In order to gain a fund of practical coaching experience and football knowledge which can put our teams into the running again, we must have at the head of our football one man whose circumstances...

Starr has been playing end in practice recently and is undoubtedly the best tackler out for the position. Macdonald is a valuable man on account of his experience, and Browne has shown great improvement recently. Bird promised well at the beginning...
