...year is naturally unwilling to bind the committee of another year or a future football captain. Therein lies the fundamental fault of our athletics from a competitive standpoint. Those who select a coach who is defeated in his first year night support him again, but their power is gone as well as his. Another captain holds the floor, and another committee passes upon his recommendations. We must, therefore, look to this committee to conduct itself in such a manner that its members will be the natural leaders next year.

...true leader of men cares not for himself, but only for his cause and his followers. This is the metaphysic of leadership, simple in the extreme, the passion for the goal.

It is too early as yet to tell what the ultimate result of the changes will be, but they seem to act for the better. Yesterday Faulkner did not report, and Marvin rowed at bow. The order...
During the week many of the dormitory crews have been organized, and have practiced every day both on the machines and on the river. The number to row from the weld boathouse has usually been about ten, while seven more have gone out from the Newell...
