Where are the books in the reading rooms going? Faster and faster the volumes of prescribed reading are disappearing from the shelves in Massachusetts Hall. It is useless to preach here upon the pettiness of such theft; the men who are selfish enough and small enough to purloin the books are beyond the reach of exhortation. But in the interests of the Library and of future students in these courses, the kleptomaniacs are asked to return them, at least after the examinations for which they were borrowed are over.

...Princeton team is W. Humphreys at left centre. While not as fast as Cowan, the other centre, his stick-work and shooting ability more than make up for this deficiency.

Connor, except for his extreme lightness, would probably have the call over both Pidgeon and Talbot. He is faster and handles the ball cleaner. He is also a good ground-gainer and may be used at halfback occasionally. So far Pidgeon's work has been very good. He played some football while at South Boston High and was a valuable member of the team. He is a junior, but this...
