Princeton also has the distinction of seeing its teams cut down to a "war-strength" squad and their batting order shows a similar lack of veterans. As athletic contests the Saturday competitions are bound to fall down in comparison to former years' battles.

It is as plotless as the Follies and as well equipped scenically as that hardy annual, but there the comparison ceases. Ziegfeld capitalizes pulchritude and "Getting Together" does the same thing with patriotism...
