Scope and content
Has just been fortunate enough to get into the Hawk's Club, limited to 100 members and containing all the leading athletes. Believes it to have a big social influence at Cambridge and the expense will be worthwhile. Has been suffering from what he believes is rheumatism and notes that the beer which he has 'been taking for lunch is not the best thing for it', though he believes it 'suits his digestion very well'. Has been playing a lot of football which he enjoys very much but finds he gets painfully 'blown' if he takes 'more than a slice or two of meat and bread at lunch'. Does not think there is any danger in the way football is played at Cambridge. Has hosted a pleasant whist drive and breakfast and discusses organisation of a forthcoming dance.
