...snapping back was very poor; on the direct passes the runners would pick the ball out of the air on one side or the other, and twice the Yale punter had to reach and take the ball with one hand. Inaccurate passing of the sort against a sharp defence may get the Elis into trouble. The tendency of most of the Yale backs was to run high and they did not use the straight arm at all. Braden was one exception. He ran low with terrific power both in carrying the ball and in interference. The power of the Yale...
During these last few weeks before the Presidential election, the air becomes more and more filled with discussion of the policies and personalities of the respective candidates. It is the very essence of democratic government that absolute freedom of expression should be given to the opinions of every member of the community; yet it is often a matter of considerable doubt whether some of the arguments advanced in favor of this or that candidate are really expressions of opinion in its true sense.

...shells, covered with canvas painted in the queer brown, green and black futurist style to avoid detection. Even white horses had to succumb to the brush of this futurist artist.

Students are strongly advised to keep up their general resistance against all diseases (including infantile paralysis) by regular and sound health habits of eating, sleeping and exercise. It is obvious that unlimited fresh air deters most infections and that poorly ventilated and crowded indoor halls (including many places of amusement) favor the spread of infection. Cases of illness of any nature should be reported promptly at their onset to Dr. Bailey, Thayer 21, 8.30 to 9.30 A. M. and 5 to 6 P. M. (other hours by telephone), or to Dr. Lee, 4 Weld Hall, between...
...Most of us will agree that this weakness is due to the forward pass which, as it has been perfected, has played ever-increasing havoc with defensive line play. How, for instance, are forwards to charge promptly when there is the threat of a forward pass in the air? The tendency, and the proper tendency, is to straighten up and get the nature, as well as the direction of the play, and this certainly militates against a proper defensive line charge. Then, too, the unbalanced formations and other practices designed to unsettle opposing linesmen play their part. All this...
