...number includes three pieces of verse, only one of which contains anything remotely resembling even lukewarm tar. Mr. Rickaby's sonnet about the clash and reconciliation of his Muse and his Love, though smooth enough, is cloyed with pale pink, saccharine sentiment. Mr. Nelson's "Early Frost" is skillful work on a mighty theme; but its figures, although effective hints in themselves, are too familiar to be easily coordinated into a single, sharp effect.

...each other for a short while, each in turn being instructed in both offensive and defensive work, while at the same time the coaches corrected the faults of individuals. There were no opportunities for long runs or spectacular plays, but two or three pretty forward passes were successfully completed. Though the work was light, the men were kept on the go all the time and not allowed to slow up during the time of the practice...
