...only thing. A great improvement was noticed both in individual playing and team work, over the work in the game with Princeton. And this fact should encourage us all to hope for a favorable issue of the game on Thanksgiving Day. The men have shown that, though the loss of their captain was severely felt, they could rise to the emergency, and every man has been playing with his whole heart and soul as well as with his mus cles and sinews. Great credit is due to each man on the team and if will and determination could...

She will not find easily so staunch a friend to accept the post which this resignation has made empty...
...this fall. In spite of the fact that injuries had rendered many of the most promising candidates for the team unfit for playing, Captain Holden had gotten together an eleven of which the University might be proud. But now at the last moment we are crippled sorely by the loss of Sears and Cumnock, whose services can ill be spared...
