...second base; Crew and Laird, outfielders. Wood and Copeland were the mainstay of the pitching staff last season, but their work was inconsistent. Of the two, Copeland is more dependable, while Wood is more effective spasmodically. From last year's freshman nine Lamberton, Deyo, and Link are expected to show up well, especially the two first-named. Behind the bat Kelleher of the undefeated 1916 team is expected to be a close second to Wall for the catching position...
...debates furnishes an excellent catalogue for reference. Names of the winners, since 1898, of the Coolidge prize of $100, the Pasteur Medal, and the Philips Memorial Scholarship are also given. The methods and principles of debating at Harvard and other universities are treated at length and the authors show why the work has been so successful.

True, doubtless, but there is in practice, very little variety in the grouping of these combinations in the phrase--often a constant repetition of a two measure group--and practically none in the arrangement of the several phrases. The insistency of the syncopation only aggravates the obviousness of the phraseology and the resulting...
