...life that word has been applied to William Hanford Edwards. He weighs 300 pounds. He can get into a lower berth but not behind the wheel of an automobile. He always sits on the aisle at the theatre. He can use ready-made handerchiefs. He once saved the life of onetime (1910-13) Mayor William G. Gaynor of New York. He is said to have been the fastest big man that ever played football at Princeton...

Due to the loss of White, the line-up has been shifted with F. D. Stranahan '26 taking the place...
...Captain R. D. Pinkerton '27 was placed at number three. The expected return of White to the line-up for the second game of the intercollegiate tournament will probably increase the scoring power of the Crimson four, although Burnett showed plenty of ability to hold down the number one berth in last Tuesday...
