Both scrimmages yesterday, that between Teams A and B and that between a University team and the seconds, were stopped at frequent intervals to permit the coaches to correct faults. The same difficulty was present which was shown in Saturday's game with Virginia; the team moved through simple plays with creditable speed and precision, but any attempt on the part of the quarterback to run off a play approaching the complex inevitably resulted in confusion. Only one score was made, a touchdown by Nelson which resulted after a long succession of simple plunges through the weak centre...
...Coach Saltonstall and his assistants have had but a week in which to judge their men it is not to be expected that the selection of the first squad has been correct in all cases. Therefore, for a week and a half squad B will be run merely as a second Freshman squad, and no immediate attempt will be made to organize dormitory teams. Thus all men now delegated to the seconds will have ample opportunity to prove their worth and be taken...
...trite saying that the Prussian state is a living embodiment and a concrete application, upon a large scale, of Kantian principles of duty.

Not that Kant's views on politics and public affairs did in any specific manner shape Prussian legislation of the early nineteenth century; his views were too individualistic and too little concerned...
Permit me to correct a false impression that might be conveyed by your article yesterday on the possible necessity of playing the football game with Yale this fall at New Haven.

This would naturally make it appear that the Association is trying to persuade the city authorities to violate the law by issuing a permit for such stands. As a matter of fact, it is the contention of the Association that the law does not forbid a temporary wooden structure of the type we propose...
...leading article is on "Euripides and Mr. Barker," by Mr. R. H. Sessions, emphasizing the vitality, as opposed to the "classicism" of Greek drama. Mr. Sessions, however, takes it for granted that too much of Mr. Barker's productions is "emotionally rather than archaically correct." No doubt the costumes of the barbarians were fantastic to the point of humor; but why the caviling at the temple? The temple was not a Parthenon, certainly; it was of the Minoan stage of culture, and as such it was quite correct...
