Frank Vincent, Jr., whose travels in Burmah and Siam make him an authority on the subject, will have a paper on "White Elephant," maintaining that a white elephant has never been allowed to leave Asia...

Individual players, whose reputations are made before they come to college constitute our nine, eleven, and twelve, and as long as they are in active exercise the teams prosper, but when any one of these men fails, through sickness or injury, the choice of a successor lies between one or two indifferent players...
