Today's football game with Annapolis presents the first real opportunity of the year to gain a critical estimate of just what can be expected from this year's team. The games thus far, although one or two have been fairly close and only won by small scores, are of meagre value in estimating the real power of attack and defense. No amount of scrimmaging against a weak line will bring out a team's possibilities. From all accounts the Navy is a strong opponent for this stage of the season, with an aggressive line and quite a variety...
...Some Deeds of Madness" is the best of the three stories, the humorous touch at the close being especially successful.

There has been enough of this rowdiness. Let the new members of the College take heed before the authorities are forced to close the hall from the public in shame lest outsiders conclude that the diners are hoodlums instead...
...hardest games this year, Yale beat West Point on Saturday by the score of 6 to 0. In the first half the play was so close that neither team was able to score, although West Point had two opportunities for field goals by heeling punts for fair catches. In the second half, however, Yale's reserve force told and Coy was pushed across the line for the only touchdown, the goal from which he kicked. Yale played "straight football" throughout, and what use they intend to make of the forward pass and onside kick in later games was not apparent...
...name of the Faculty by Professor Walz. Hanfstaengl will then speak for the students, and Professor Munsterberg for the Germans in the University. Professor F. G. Peabody, the first foreign exchange professor, will talk on "The Harvard Exchange Professor Abroad"; then a speech by Professor Kuehnemann will close the meeting, which is open to members of the University. Among the guests especially invited will be Professor Oscar Montelius, the noted Swedish archaeologist of Stockholm, and Professor E. von Mach of Cambridge, England...
