...pass was also tried, but without much success. When gains were made, they were, for the most part, the result of either straight football or end runs. The features of the practice were Newhall's running back of punts and Wendell's gains through the line. Hadden played a good game in the line, and followed the ball well, recovering one forward pass on the 20-yard line.

Why not at the next mass meeting carry the excellent idea of Tuesday night one step further, and have the Glee Club sing each song several times before the whole meeting takes it up? Then everybody will know what he is to sing, and he will be able...
