This evening, however, the absence of Tolbert will be greatly felt as he bears the brunt of the defensive play of the team. S. B. Chase '21, who was a regular in the right guard position in the earlier games, or W. V. Miller '23 will be in at left guard. Otherwise the lineup remains as it was last week. Practice yesterday afternoon called for no scrimmaging for the first squad, but drill in shooting and passing made up the periods work. After the regular practice the second team scrimmaged with a scrub team...
Captain Rothschild and Sands will be the pair upon whom the heaviest forward duty will fall, and provided they live up to expectations, will present difficulties for the CRIMSON. In Dorney the Dartmouth outfit possesses a sturdy defense player fully able to bear the brunt of the University attack. Neidlinger at goal was the defensive star of the game against B.

Without it, he will be ground with the rest to a dead average by a uniform ordeal of "stuffing," irrespective...
...what the world shall do now, that is another question. We imagine it would be in the nature of a real job for England or the United States to put an army worthy of the name in Germany. If intervention comes, France as usual must bear the brunt. And after it is over, she will again be thanked and called imperialistic. If intervention does not come, we may all have the pleasure of seeing the restoration of his Imperial Majesty, buried alive since the autumn of 1918 and in a forlorn spot where "wicked men detain...
