In either of the first two cases, the object is to break away and dribble the ball. Dribbling consists of rushing the ball down the field by a series of short kicks along the ground. In the third case, if the ball...
...heating and ventilating system, electric wiring, and plumbing of Robinson Hall contribute an interesting, illustrated account of the somewhat unusual features of the heating and ventilating system in that building.

'00, and "The Value of Methods of Approximation," by V. R. Worcester '82, are the two remaining articles of the number...
