...residence rule, by McCloskey, who will be Overfield's substitute at centre, and by Rengenberg, who started to play left end but recently has made a better impression as a full-back. For the other three positions there seems to be a host of good material. Howell's work, in particular, is so brilliant that it is expected he will develop into one of the best ends U. of P. has ever had. Snover and Stehle, too, are doing well at the tackles. All three of these men have played in the first two games of the season, and have...
...sometimes too reminiscent of the interminable Kipling; and though one can understand Martin's rebellion against society, his reconciliation seems rather abrupt, rather arbitrary. Still, the story runs brisk and strong, and is filled with genuine love of windy skies and high seas. "Dolls," though anonymous, is plainly the work of some one with a trained dramatic sense and a gift for clever dialogue. One would like to see the author try his hand at an out-and-out comedy...

As Kendall is now playing rather better at right half than at left, there is little to choose between the three backs--Kendall, Warren and Parker.

In the punting practice before the line up, however, his back field work with Parker was of a high order. Kendall played better at right half, and made some good gains through the line. The backs fumbled too much, but somewhat less than yesterday...
...left in the squad after the first and second elevens had been picked out, have been put in charge of J. L. Knox '98, who will try to select the most promising men. He gave them work yesterday in tackling the dummy, with a little signal practice...
