...eleven has not played any regular games this fall so that it is difficult to gauge its real strength with any exactness. The practice has consisted almost entirely of signal practice and scrub games against the substitutes and other class teams.

Perhaps the most successful attempt is a take-off on the poetry of Kipling and his admirers. Several stray hits are scattered throughout the number and a wandering member of the University is welcomed back and his exploits rehearsed in a manner truly dazzling and wonderful, but scarcely appreciable by the college...
