There is often in Americans an air of condescension in treating Russian things. For example, Americans express surprise at the excellence of Russian music, implying the contrast between the Russians and the music. The Russian is tempted to add, when a remark to this effect is made: "And I, too, am surprised at the poorness of American music, when I consider the people who produce...
...latter presented practically the team which held the 'varsity down to ten points. That the score was not as large as the apparent advantages of the B. A. A. seemed to warrant, was due to the fact that their general team play was slow and spiritless, and in marked contrast with their work on Tuesday. Their strength and experience were, most noticeable in their interference which the freshmen were unable to break. All the halfbacks played well, but Peter and McNear especially distinguished themselves. The general work of the freshmen showed an improvement over previous games. The tackling was wretched...
...great trouble with the 'varsity, which the presence of Captain Waters undoubtedly would in some degree have obviated, was the lack of snap. Fairchild was slow in passing, and the backs were slow, when once they got the ball. In marked contrast was the work of Peters and Anthony for the B. A. A.

It is the first time this year that this fault that has prevailed all along has been so noticeable, and it comes home with all the more...

But really there is nothing inconsistent between physics and theology. Both, in fact, are seeking the same end, namely, the interpretation of the thought of the ruling power of the universe. It is sure that the universe is guided by thought, that...
...play shown in practice yesterday was in marked contrast to the good game the eleven played on Saturday. The second eleven were about a match for the first and kept the 'varsity backs from making gains, whether around the ends, or through the center. During the first half hour the first eleven failed to score. Two or three times they got the ball down to the ten yard line, only to lose it on four downs. The great trouble with the backs was that they did not get started quickly enough and that, even when started, they ran listlessly. Brewer...
