...Gallauer will undoubtedly be found in the big games. The latter was placed on the All-American team last year by Walter Camp. The remaining line positions are somewhat in doubt, except that of centre, which Ketcham, generally considered the best centre in the East last year is practically sure of holding. Cooney, a former substitute in that position has been shifted to guard and seems likely material to fill one of the vacancies left by Francis and McDevitt. Green, of last year's freshmen, Randall and Arnold are other men whose work has been encouraging at guard. No veteran...
...fiction by Clarence Britten is not vital or significant enough to balance all the excellent criticism. Delicate, studied, as his stories always are, this one is a good example of the lack the average reader feels in them. One never feels he understands the people; one does not feel sure they understand each other. The author has so refined them that they are no longer the plain human sort one knows.

We sincerely hope that the 1913 team, with bright prospects before it, will surpass even the performances of this year's team, which began the season with an extremely poor outlook. The CRIMSON wishes Captain Cummings...
...retiring editors of the Monthly certainly deserve the thanks of all interested in good writing for salving the magazine; and the new board may be sure of our good wishes in their indispensable and self-rewarding work
