...well together. In this particular, Haughton especially seemed to run aimlessly, and to have no settled idea as to the play and where he should be. In his kicking, he showed up promisingly. His punts, with the wind favoring, were not only long but very well placed and high enough to give the ends ample time to get down well. He was slow in starting however, and his rushing was mediocre.

Much depends on the way in which the men start in on their work: if a class is half-hearted and careless at first, as was the case with last year's freshmen, it will have that reputation to work against for the rest...
