...University football team, in a long and stiff scrimmage yesterday, showed the best form it has displayed this season. The line, in particular, exhibited marked improvement over its work in the Maine game, and held the second attack or threw it back for losses almost every time. Captain Wendell played in scrimmage for the first time and his runs and line plunges were the features of the day. Team A tried two long forward passes, both of which gained touchdowns...
Straight plunges through tackle carried the ball forward to the seconds' 2-yard line. Here the second team line strengthened and held team A for two plays. But another forward pass around left end, almost exactly like the first, brought another touchdown. The pass was from Gardner to Felton, who had taken Smith's place a few minutes earlier. Storer kicked an easy goal. Score: University 21, Seconds...

Some of the prayers have been strange ones but all have come from the hearts of earnest men. They have been offered in times when the nation was in great trouble and in times of great national prosperity and happiness. If we see more light than our predecessors did, it is because their prayers have been answered...
