...kicking and catching punts in which the backs showed almost no improvement. The linemen were coached separately in breaking through and had much the same work under the graduate players as they had Monday. Playing too high has been the principal trouble with the forwards and they seem slow to realize the necessity for a change. A brief line-up between the University substitutes and the second eleven concluded the practice; it brought out but little good football...
...principally under discussion in the report falls naturally into two parts: How long a preparation shall professional schools of law, medicine, and the like, require of candidates for admission; and how far can the college go toward providing such preparation? To the first part of of this question there seem to be three possible answers.

All the teams were evenly matched and in consequence the playing was close...

In fact to those who do not require good reasons for what they approve his treatment may seem a little rude. It is the kind of article which sets one thinking...
