...exhibited the effectiveness of the men behind it. As only four of the regular players on last year's eleven returned to the University this fall, the scarcity of experienced men early manifested itself as a serious obstacle to the rapid development of a team. The problem of building up a line was particularly affected by this difficulty, and team work made little progress under the many changes and experiments that became necessary. Added to this was the fact that many of the more promising men early in the season sustained injuries more or less serious, which kept them...
...principle problem that confronted the coaches was the development of a new set of backs, for Owsley was the only running back left on the squad who had played in a championship game. In the early part of the season Shevlin was tried at fullback but it was soon evident that he was not the man for the position and he was again put at end. Instead of having so much weight behind the line, it became the plan of the coaches to develop a somewhat lighter but faster set of backs. The number of this kind of backs...
...Another problem of a very serious nature was the developing of a punter, for Bowman had to leave the squad early in the season because of injuries.

There will also be exhibited photographs of some of the other busts, as well as coins bearing Caesar's head...
...Democrats controlled one-third of the Senate, enough to defeat the measure. But the treaty was ratified and as a result the Philippines became American territory. Thus the Democratic party is equally responsible with the Republican for the annexation of the Philippines. There are three solutions to the Philippine problem. First, we can fit the islanders for statehood and admit them to the Union. This, however, is scarcely feasible. Secondly, we can hold them as subjects without constitutional rights. In the third place, we can endeavor to set up a government on American principles and leave it to the people...
