...unsympathetic, and his acting was finished to the highest degree. His support was of exceptional strength and evenness. Miss Kahn resembles Mrs. Fiske in the naturalness of her method; Mr. Lewis, as Michael Daverines, though a trifle stiff, and not altogether convincing, made the most of a thankless and difficult part; and Miss Harrington and Mr. Anderson played the colorless sister and brother-in-law with excellent taste. But, on the whole, the cast failed in only one task, which is a very difficult one for Anglo-Saxons; they did not preserve the Gallic quality of the characters they represented...

If Lawrence continues to improve as he has done this season, no one can replace him at the other tackle. Next year, however...
...University eleven this fall, Captain McBride, Hubbell, Snitzer, Francis, Richards and Hale will graduate next June. Brown, Olcott, Stillman, Gibson, Gould, Fincke, Sharpe, Chadwick and Keane will return to college next year. Hale may also return as a post-graduate student. The positions left vacant by graduation will be difficult to fill satisfactorily. The most promising of the substitutes who will probably be candidates again next year are Cunha and Tomlinson for centre, Cook for left tackle, and Adams for fullback...
