About thirty men are training for the ninety-six eleven. The work of the team this week has not shown as great improvement as might be expected. The men seem willing enough, but they are very light. The great need is for heavy men for the line. On Tuesday the team played two short halves with ninety-five in which neither side scored. The players were frequently changed so as to give as many men as possible a chance to play. On Thursday the team played ninety-four...
...Baker," by L. Howe, does not seem to have much point. A clever piece in its way is "A Three-cornered Elopement;" but the best thing in the number is "Laughing Eyes," by H. W.

The time for these games is not far off and unless the men proceed immediately to serious work they will find themselves victims...
College life is full of petty abuses, some of which can be remedied and some of which seem inherent in the life itself and consequently bound to stay. Of those which can be remedied, the greater part begin at the opening of the term and, unless checked then and there, continue through the year. Most of them seem trivial, but they nevertheless take away a great deal of the pleasure and profit of the course. Our attention has been called to the fact that there are men in some of the philosophy and economics courses, where the matter in hand...
