...Monthly which comes out today is interesting chiefly on account of a short article by Professor Hollis, defending the present system of electing the athletic committee. He says: "How a change in the method of electing the committee would affect this (the election) does not appear. There is no reason to think that a body of students in mass meeting would exercise better judgment than the small body of men who now select the committee. In fact, the weight of argument is all the other way. A mass meeting is very likely...
There has been a feeling for some years that the method of electing the athletic committee is not representative enough and has not produced entirely satisfactory results. To be concrete, many have felt that during the past years there have been men on the committee who have been so well qualified for the position as other undergraduates, who would probably have been elected by a mass meeting. On the other hand, there is a popular superstition that when students gather together in a mass meeting, they immediately lose their heads and vote for the wrong man. Even granting that this...

Too much confidence tends too spoil the team. It also tends to produce a violent reaction against the method of coaching in case of defeat. Finally it gives outsiders and graduates an exaggerated idea of the team's ability, which calls down upon them perhaps unjust criticism if they are defeated by a team which is comparatively underrated...

His running was strong, but he availed himself little of large openings through which he might have made larger gains. Both...
...made several good runs, got into the plays with a great deal of life and tackled fiercely. Warren was tried at fullback and showed up fairly well. On both sides there was a lamentable lack of interference, and although the playing was sharp and hard, there was not enough method in the running of the backs. Garrison went in at quarter during the last few minutes of play and succeeded in livening the men up considerably. He tackled strongly and helped his backs very materially in the interference...
