...most individual bit of writing in the last Advocate is "Undergraduate Criticism," by C. J. Hambleton. The author has something worth while to say, he says it with precision and picturesqueness, and when he has said it, he stops. It is to be hoped that our voluminous undergraduate critics will profit by his example as well as his advice. "When I was a Duke," a story by D. W. Streeter, scarcely smacks of the British nobility, yet it sets forth an amusing situation in Irish language. A good natured, Chinese cook who artistically stabs a man between sips...

On the offense the chief defects are uncertainty in starting, lack of aggressiveness of the line, and fumbling by the backs; and in the Brown game a new weakness was present--wretched interference on end plays. On the defense the team has improved considerably, notably in the increased ability to analyze quickly the opponents' play. Poor team work has been one of the unavoidable results of the team's slow development, and it will be interesting to note from the play in today's game...
