The affiliated dealer who furnished the students with fuel last year has been very remiss this fall, and often ten days have passed before an order would be filled. Hereafter, it is announced that coal will be delivered on the day after the order is given, and it is to be hoped that there will no longer be such vexatious delays...

Thus students often are compelled to pay for a small pamphlet the same price as for a regular text book.

...field. For intentional violation of rules 16 and 27 (referring to off-side play, hacking, throttling, butting, tripping up, etc.) a player shall be disqualified and two points given to the other side." This treatment of off-side and unfair play will prevent the many tricks which are often permitted on the foot-ball field. Intentional delay of the game also gives the opponents points and the offender is sent from the field...
