...recent fire in Stoughton Hall shows the necessity of being fully prepared beforehand for any accident of that kind. The fire was not due to the carelessness of anybody, but originated from a hot coal falling out of the grate upon the carpeted floor.

...Sears, and the outlook for a strong team is by no means dubious. On the other hand, the opposing freshman eleven at Yale this year is unusually strong, and it has had the advantage of beginning practice a week earlier. These advantages can be overcome only by the hardest kind of training, and it is this earnest work which the freshman class and the whole college is expecting from Captain Brooks...
