...papers that he is willing to contribute, they may be mailed to the committee at 11 West 22d street, New York City. If the articles are in New York the committee will be glad to send for them. Such things are almost valueless in individual hands, and are often scattered or lost. Collected, they may be of the greatest use, and, in any case, they will be preserved with the greatest care...
...slow in starting and does not ward off well. Graves is sure of either full back or half back as his tackling and kicking are very good. His catching is a little uncertain but his dodging and running are excellent. Tracey, full-back, is an awkward player, and while often making brilliant plays, cannot be depended on in case of emergency.

...attention has been continually directed to the importance of physical culture among young men in college. There is reason to believe that if the importance of this subject has not been exaggerated, at least the methods employed for encouraging it have been more or less mistaken. It is too often the case that at the beginning of a session young men are animated for a week or two by a very lively zeal to participate in athletic sports which in a brief period wears itself out; after which the gymnasium is for the most part deserted. What is more likely...
