...entire infield of last year will remain practically intact. Rich, who played second base, will not be back, but his place will be taken by Diehl, who, though substitute last year, played in a large number of games. In the battery it is hoped that Priest, the famous old Cornell pitcher, will again take the position. He is in college again, and if he can be induced to play Cornell will have one of the best pitchers on the college diamond.

As one of the chief pleasures of the holidays lies in being at home on that day, I would suggest that instead of giving two days extra at the beginning, the Faculty give one day at the beginning...
...second half the ball was taken to Harvard's 10 yard line. Here Harvard got the ball on a fumble, and soon forced it back to Yale's 35 yard line. By a double pass Knox made 20 yards around Yale's right end, and on the next play went through the line on another trick for a touchdown...
