...impossible to believe that this is a test of ability to succeed in the Edison factory. What we want to know are those things that will help us live the better in whatever surroundings we find ourselves.

This was the only game in which they have been pressed at all, and they showed their worth convincingly. P. Jenkins is the only member of the Freshman quintet to suffer from last Tuesday...
