Captain Callahan and a prominent Yale line coach who viewed the game from a seat high up in the Stadium no doubt appreciated these plays more than most of the student body. Apparently the superlative showing of the regular team against Centre has spoiled the student support, whose general comment on the game was not at all complimentary to the team. When one considered that a good forward pass attack was not allowed to get within striking distance of the goal line, that three or four men at least were given a first real opportunity to show their mettle...
...spite of the brilliant and speedy offense of the Tigers, Coach Bill Roper was not at all satisfied with the result of last Saturday's game. His opinion was summed up in the terse comment as the team went out of the Stadium after the whistle had blown: "Today's game was a repetition of those that have been played this season, in that the scores came as the results of individual brilliancy, not of teamwork. Individual brilliancy will not win the Yale and Harvard games...
...Maine, to Seattle, Washington, and elsewhere through regional ramifications. it is conceivable that a remark of international importance might be flashed from the Union to San Francisco, thence by wireless to the Phillippines and so on around the world passing the same remark cabled East from New York, provoking comment in the newspaper offices of Europe while it was still ringing in the ears of the audience at the Union...
Your editorial of June 2 on Mexico is one which I cannot let go by without some comment. Six years ago, on the 29th of June, 1914, the world, and our country with it, howled its disapproval and disgust at Austria for insisting on sending Austrian police "to apprehend the black murderers" of the Crown Prince. Today, you, acting in conjunction with many others who, I fear, have had very little dealings, directly or otherwise, with Mexicans or with any of the Americans murdered in Mexico, conscientiously and sincerely, but none the loss erroneously, advocate and applaud our doing...
...unjust in recitation requirements and marking--in fact, every "what to do" and "don't do it" about his courses in the catalog of undergraduate criticism. Separating the chaff of the chronic growler, the captious individual and the carping dispenser of profane fault-findings from the bulk of the comment would still leave a deal of wholesome material worthy of honest reflection. This cannot be done, unfortunately, and there is no means of getting the undergraduate views on a course to the instructor, other than some action initiated by the latter. This happens occasionally, but far too seldom, and more...
