...playing and debauch the little caddies with their stories and actions. It is to get away from all that kind of thing that the Chicago women are having their own club, I'm certain. Wearing knickers has nothing whatever to do with it and anyway, I'm sure no member of the Illinois Women's Golf Club here would be so vulgar as to wear knickers at any golf club, even in the middle of the night...
...Daily Princetonian, commenting editorially, sees that "a difficulty in ratification is sure to come" over the above provision. And its prophesy while slightly pessimistic is extremely same.

Beyond the precarious position of Watts at stroke there seems to be little speculation as to the first boat, although no man who has rowed on that eight seems to feel unduly sure of his place. At the beginning of the season Coach Brown decided that every man was subject to promotion or demotion until the day of the Yale race, a promise which he has kept faithfully thus...
