...leather over the cross bar at distances anywhere from 20 to 50 yards. This is still another department in which the team is away ahead of last year's. Dr. Bull has worked hard in teaching the men the fine points of the kicking game and he takes delight in pointing to the feats of his charges...
...current issue of the Advocate appears with one delightful feature in advance over its predecessors of this year in that it is especially strong in well-written prose; a form of writing which seems to be either neglected or hastily executed by most collegians of today.

In the field, "Wild West" Ingram brought exclamations of delight to the lips of every beholder, and accepted the most difficult chances with utter sang froid. Prexy Graves was a demon at the bat, and scampered around the bags like a yearling gazelle; and "Duffy" Lewis came through with a three-bagger every once in a while...
