...Freshman team as far as can be judged at present promises to be a hard-hitting combination with a weak pitching staff. As among a group of none too promising candidates for the mound position O. S. Carter, a former Exeter man, appears to be the first choice with R. W. Puffer of Noble and Greenough as second best. M. A. Cheek, also an Exeter graduate, is at present the logical choice for first-string catcher. There is quantity of good material for first base and as yet no choice can be made. J. E.

In England, the "bobby" carries no gun; he needs none, for he is "always right". The crowd will support him in a pinch. It is ingrained in the English that the law, which the "bobby" represents, is right, and must be respected. Here, the "cop" undoubtedly represents the law, but the sympathy is too likely to be with the culprit. Evading the law is often more popular than obeying it. And there...
