Betts was used at right tackle early in the season, and, although exceedingly light for the position, made a very good showing. Owing to his light weight, Coach Hinkey shifted him to end, where he was practically certain of selection for the final games until he was injured in mid-season...
There is one principal matter for regret--and only one--in the present number of the Advocate. Perhaps it is the well-established custom, or cherished privilege, of Senior editors to rest on their laurels. But when a class has so many good men in it as the class of 1916, and when those good men are so well represented on the Advocate staff, it is to be regretted that only one of them, Mr. Leffingwell, has contributed a signed article.

...whole, the best performance of the evening was the bout in which L. R. Barker 1L. met S. Burnham '19 in the 175-lb. class. Fast, clever recoveries on the part of Burnham, which the latter turned to good account, and a powerful offensive attack by his opponent, characterized the struggle. Holds were rarely kept for any length of time, and great speed was shown by both contestants...
