Another cause of complaint is the "special reports." The student feels that he is compelled to spend a considerable amount of time in obtaining a piece of information practically useless, at the expense of more important work. Yet if this point of the work is not done, he is given a maximum of 75 per cent., no matter how well he may do the rest of the work. The importance of the course and the necessity of doing good work in it, are recognized by all. The energy and ability of the instructor is also appreciated. Those who have elected...

...without any important change of position until a long punt by B. Hodge and a fumble by Beecher resulted in a Princeton man touching the Yale goal line with his feet as he lay upon the ground embracing the ball. For 15 minutes the contest waxed warm at this point, but Yale stood firm and played in such steady form that no touch-down was scored against her.
