The true method of making a college popular is in showing to the active world the fruits of a college education. The college that can point to a host of illustrious alumni will not want for students, even if the preparatory schools are filled with teachers who have graduated from a rival college...
...about the twenty-five yard line, but sharp work and fine dropping on the ball by the juniors, forced the ball close under '86's goal. After several futile attempts Fletcher succeeded in getting the ball across the line. From this touch-down Peabody kicked a goal.

But we fear that the too facile pen of the writer became slightly inebriated. For the accident, which, of course follows at this point, takes on quite a terrific air. Medical authorities are brought on the scene, and we are informed as a climax that one of the injured players was "probably fatally injured." Such rhetorical efforts as this, savor over much of the morbid, and we trust that the writer of the glaring...
