Coaches 'will continue to be
permitted to accept invitations
to speak at off-campus meet

member or alumnus will be al
lowed to pay, or arrange to have
paid, the travel expenses of any
prospective student visiting its
campus. The "excessive -entertainment"
clause also was bol
stered. The only thing now per

The finals of the 1951 football season are in; the total yardages
and scores are posted, and the last recommendations for outstanding
players are turned in. We Mop to take stock of ourselves and our
team here at N.U.
Admittedly we have experienced a bad season, judging solely
from the win-loss column. However, let us consider another view
point or two and perhaps we shall not feel so bad about this
football team.
A comparison of the preceding season's team and the latest is
of great interest
In 1950, we had a weak defensive setup and an extremely
powerful offensive unit We won games by ontscoring the other
teams, even though we were unable to stop the opponents from
scoring.

of senior gridders of the Big

In 1950 we had some outstanding experienced seniors and a
quarterback who was very capable with the "T" formation.
In 1951 there were only a few of the experienced personnel re
maining from which to build a team of twenty-two players. Except
for five seniors and 11 juniors, the balance were underclassmen with
only limited experience in college footbalL
In addition to the above factors, we were constantly being:
