...freshman foot-ball team played its first game yesterday at Groton, with the Groton School team. The freshmen, though they played a very loose game and were out weighted, won by the score of 44 to 19.

...perhaps, so well understood. The Conference Committee is, as constituted at present, a purely advisory body, and has absolutely no executive or legislative power. This fact is often lost sight of, and expecting administrative action the students look upon the advice given by the committee as but a poor substitute. "Why doesn't the Conference Committee do something?" is a question we often hear. The true answer, however, "They have not the power," is but seldom given...
