Before com- ing here he captained the Olivet team during one of the most successful seasons. This season, he has played a great game at tackle, especially dis- tinguishing himself in the Chicago dame. At a meeting of the Women's coun- cil, held recently in Detroit, an in- teresting report was made by Miss Octavia W.
