Imagine, also, trying to figure the interest at four and three-fourths percent of $19.19 for three months and three days when a month is a thirteenth of a year and twenty-eight days is not divisible by three!

The first triumph of the season was a 56-10 victory over Providence College on December 14, while two days later the University of Maine also fell a 48-19 victim to the Purple assault. Coach Casey gave his players no respite during the Christmas vacation, however, a flying four day visit to New York and Brooklyn resulting in three victories and one defeat, St. Francis, Brooklyn College, and the College of the City of New York being...
