...fundamental axiom of statistical science is that if the numbers of a class, that is, persons born, are indefinitely increased under constant conditions, the proportion of instances distinguished by some specific attribute called an average, converges to a fixed limit. The limit is often given not so much by exact numeration as by a presumption based on general experience. The premises of "inverse probability" rest mostly on this sort of evidence; which seems also to underlie some economic theorems. Of a similar character is the evidence that many kinds of events are practically independent of each other. From this presumption...
...heavy and only fairly fast. Shevlin and Wilhelmi are handicapped by inexperience in the position. There is little reason to doubt that the ends will be played by two of these men but to pick which two is at present practically impossible. The tackles have been the subject of constant coaching, especially in defense. Both Kinney and Hogan are developing strength in the tackles-back formations. Metcalf has played steadily at quarter-back. Two sets of backs are now being used, the first including Chadwick left half, Ward right half, and Farmer full-back, and the second Preston left half...
...second half Technology played a stronger game, and held the Freshmen down to one touchdown, which was made by Hodges on a 35 yard run. The constant fumbling of the team prevented more scoring, though Technology's goal was several times in danger. Just before time was called, Metcalf tried a drop-kick goal, but was unsuccessful...
...tackle-back formations; but as a defensive tackle he is at present inferior to Hogan. The latter has also the advantage of experience in the position. Wilhelmi, although considerably heavier than the average end, is nevertheless fast. He is, however, very inexperienced in the duties of the position, and constant coaching will have to supplement his natural ability to make him even a fair and for the championship games. Neal, the leading candidate for this position until his injury in the Wesleyan game, is again in condition to play. Back of the line S. Ward has shown the best work...
...great many points by skillful smashing and placing. His playing was hard and at times brilliant. Leonard played a back court game almost entirely and in the first three sets was fairly steady. The match was chiefly marked by a lack of volleying which was checked by constant net play. Both players showed the need of practice and Leonard especially showed lack of form...
