...decrease in the Freshman class of forty-one members comes in spite of the decided increase in the number of men who applied for admission, that number having been equalled only in 1911. This would indicate a slight decrease in the average intelligence of those who applied for admission or a slight increase in the strictness of the examiners. In any case, no great importance can be attached to the loss.

Cooney and Markle, who have been in the Infirmary, reported in uniform Tuesday; and one slight change was made in the line-up; Warren was taken from right guard to right tackle, which position he played Saturday...

The third period started in a kicking contest in which Harris of the Freshmen had a slight advantage over Welch, but toward the end Dean worked a succession of trick plays, which the Freshmen were unable to size up. Arriving at the ten-yard line a forward pass from Welch to Kean sent the ball over, but Dean was penalized for holding and Harris punted into safe territory...
