...Band on the enclosed practice field, in preparation for the Michigan game. Laboratory work in the afternoons will prevent a great many of the members of the Band from practicing during the day, so that night practice has been resorted to in order to give the players the necessary drill before they go to Ann Arbor. However, regular practice will be held Friday afternoon...
After a week of experimental shifts, the lineup which will be sent against the Alligators seems to have been picked. Kuehn was again at right tackle in the brief signal drill. The fact that he has been holding that position for three days in succession indicates that he will get the call. W. Ticknor and Barrett were at right guard and left tackle respectively.

He has never been a popular member of the Senate because he attempts to manage debate in the same wise-teacher-and-drill-pupil manner he conducted his classes in South American history at Yale...
