...tendency to turn over sideways and a tendency to pitch either backward or forward. To counteract the former, and thus gain transverse stability, the Wrights warp the ends of their planes in such a way as to apply a downward force on the elevated side. To minimize the danger of pitching forward and thus gain fore and aft stability, the horizontal rudder, rigged either in front or behind the machine, is the most effective method which has up to the present time been found...
...football coaches and players to determine the means by which the danger of injuries may be minimized. Most critics assert that the serious injuries occur in mass plays; if this is true the obvious remedy is to introduce more open play by removing the restrictions which now make the forward pass such an uncertain and desperate expedient. The last game on Soldiers Field showed how seldom this play will be used as long as, it is hedged about by limitations which make it a mere last resource.

Nor ought it to be abolished, for as the most popular sport in the colleges and schools it has possibilities greater than those of any other game now used in this country.

During the entire game the Battery goal-line was never in danger, while the Cadets were kept continually on the defensive. Gutterson, Ware and Beebe played a strong game for the Cadets and it was chiefly due to the Battery's concentrated attack on these three men that the Cadets were able to prevent a score. For the Battery, Clark played the best game, doing some excellent kicking...
