...fielders, especially Dann; but this trio are several notches behind the first three in batting ability and base-running. Kellogg, '87S, and Osborn, '88S., change catchers, and change fielders, who played last year, are not rated very high. Kellogg has the making of an excellent outfielder, but could never stand the pounding Stagg would give him; Osborn has the making of a good catcher, is fearless, quick motioned, and fully able to hold Stagg. He would be out of his element in the left field, but would make a good first baseman, which position he creditably filled for the grammar...

They push, jostle, wrestle, block, kick, pull, tear and fight with each other. Football is still a game in which men undergo the risk of injury, and serious injury. To quote one example, five...
...that the society now has an opportunity to bestow dramatic laurels upon undergraduates as well as upon more advanced students of "the art of dramatic expression." One interested speaks of the opportunity, and a voice from the darkness replies to him with biting scorn. How does the matter now stand? No one knows, nor is it the evident desire of any one to know. One thing however is certain. If the ill-fated club is to be recalled to life it must be upon an essentially new basis. But will such a society bear such a new construction? We question...
