It is small encouragement to a man practicing on any of the teams to know that after five o'clock he will find the walls of the bath-room lined four deep with shivering mortals and the hot water all gone. If the college can not afford to enlarge the bath-room-which by all means ought to be done-it should at least put in larger pipes and more faucets, and, by more boilers or some other arrangement, manage to keep...

...opposing columns at some little distance from each other. Each man locks arms with the man on either side and places his hands on the shoulders of the man in front of him. In this way they form a solid phalanx, four abreast and from twenty to thirty deep. The freshmen are helped to form by the juniors and many of the latter aid in filling up the rear. When the lines are fully formed, they advance slowly step by step until within a few paces of one another, when the leaders, drawing in a long breath make the decisive...
