placement cleared the cross-bar only by a narrow margin and was rightly called by the referee but in the third period after pugh had crashed through the line on a short plunge for the second touchdown he al so tallied on his place-kick kelly who was directly be hind the kicker at the time raised his arms high over head and vigorously nodded his head vertically which is the prevailing custom among

acquainted with the activities of the association those who are presumably least oriented should set the pace but the reports show that this is true seventy-five percent of the freshman class is en rolled and seventy-five per cent is considerably above the percentage attained by any oth er class the drive was entrusted to the members of the arcadia each of whom obligated himself to be

end of his soph omore year almost before his ability was discovered and cer tainly before his promotion to the senior class was assured contained many obvious faults not the least of which was the selection of sophomores con on page 5 col 1 the new rules endeavor to correct this evil instead of electing a manager from among sophomore competitors it is proposed that two assistant be selected one of whom at the end of his junior year shall be chosen manager in addition the method of chosing has been radically altered the college no longer votes a weighted ballot from the team coach on saturday
