...goal. Ninety had the ball and advanced it twenty yards. Henshaw gained a little and McLeod getting the ball on the next pass, carried it to Ninety's five-yard line. McLeod then attempted to rush but Ninety's rush line was so badly broken that he had to retreat, losing ten yards.

The 39th psalm was then read. Following this was Buck's superb "Lead, Kindly Light," sung by the Temple Quartet. Dr. Gordon then read the 19th psalm, upon which he founded his address...

In regard to what action the faculty will take about a paid coach for our crews there is much speculation. But it is generally believed that the faculty will not retreat from its position taken last year. There is, however, almost a universal opinion that permission to play foot-ball with our rival colleges will be granted. The students earnestly desire this, and the faculty can hardly refuse us this boon, now that so many of the objectionable features...
