...cheering in the Arena thus far has always been unorganized, and often uninspiring. Partly due to the haphazard allotment of seats, and partly to the lack of leadership, the students have not come forth with substantial proof of support. It is devoutly to be wished that tonight, when two teams meet very evenly matched, this defective backing may not be in evidence. If the contest is to be won, it looks as though victory were partly up to the University, and not alone to the team...
...witness far more than ever before the open chance-taking style of play, in which wide-sweeping runs will be interspersed with forward, double and delayed passes. This does not mean that fundamentals of the leading schools of football will be thrown to the winds to be replaced by haphazard throwing about of the ball. On the contrary, the first games showed that the big elevens are better grounded at this period of the year in the essentials of sound football than in several seasons, and this despite the heavy handicap of the weather during the preliminary practice season...

...cause of the large number of misspent college courses is to be found primarily in an irrational and haphazard beginning. Few are the students, who, starting out with no definite plan of study in their mind and no inclination to form one, ever cease their academic meanderings in order to follow a rational scheme of mental training. As they begin, so they end, intellectual skirt-dancers. To avoid such lamentable wasters of educational opportunities, the system of concentration has been put into force. This afternoon, the founder of the scheme, President Lowell, will speak to the Freshmen on the "Choice...
