...Freshman defence proved strong and the ball went to the 1915 team on downs. The latter then started down the field and after several brilliant runs by Hardwick reached the 20-yard line. At this point they were unable to gain in two downs and deWindt kicked a drop-goal from the field...
...first 20 minutes the University team played a close game with the second team in which the former scored one touchdown by Storer but missed an attempted drop-kick by Potter from the 15-yard line.

Give the Freshman the benefit of the doubt, and arrange to see him, or drop him a postal to come to you. If he needs your help at all, he needs it now, for this is the time when he should be started on the right track. Later your counsel will be of far less value. If you were glad to be appointed an adviser...
