...verse, Mr. Pulsifer's "Palace of Heart's Desire" is distinctly the best in conception and expression. "The West Today is a dithyramb, and rises at moments to dithyrambic unintelligibility, as in the first line, "Land that the lakes have brided." The lingling anapests of "Morituri Salutamus" seem fitter to "Here's a health to King Charles" than to the bleeding and tearful gladiator. "Jealousy" is an aptly turned conceit in four lines; and "Will of the Wisp" has a good second stanza...

The University team then received the kick-off, and White and Corbett went the length of the field for the second touchdown...
...University team played a good offensive game, but on the defence was extremely weak. Corbett's playing was a decided improvement, and white did some excellent line plunging. Withington improves every day in his new position at left guard...
