This loss of one of the Crimson's most popular captains and a staunch bulwark in the center of the Varsity line casts a gloom over the not-too-bright prospects of the football team. The two weeks of enforced absence from practice sessions will keep Gundy out of the Bates game, and will force the coaches to use him carefully if he is to be ready for the Brown game...

The League has gone, the Treaty with it, Germany is on the road back, (with an obvious goal,) and internally France is weakened by uncertainly--the stage could not better...
