...Freshmen began the season with a small squad of rather inexperienced men, but through the hard work of the team and coach have developed unexpectedly well. Although not exceptionally strong in any one department of the game the team is equally good on the offensive and defensive and plays together well. In the last few games they have used signal formations on the toss-up with considerable success. All the men are in good condition, Allen having fully recovered from his sprained ankle...

In all 15 fouls were called on the University team and 11 on Columbia...
...Although the general make-up and size of the volume is the same as that of previous years, there is a decided improvement in editing. The careless errors in spelling of names and in class rating, which has heretofore detracted from the usefulness of the book, have been entirely done away with by more careful proof-reading. Many new clubs, formed during the past year, as well as older organizations previously omitted, have been added with complete memberships...
