...keep the Yale goal out of danger. The weakness of their offence forced the Yale team to adopt defensive tactics the greater portion of the time. Ketcham, at centre, far surpassed Bluethenthal, being down the field with the ends on almost every punt. Bomeisler, also, though showing the effect of the injury which has hampered his work all season, played a remarkable game, twice causing the ball to be dropped by the fierceness of his tackles...

In other words, "clappers" are the instruments of a partition crowd which is unwilling...
...management, furthermore, announces that the following change of schedule for meals at the Union will go into effect in order to accommodate those going to the Princeton game at 2 o'clock; luncheon, 11.30-1.30; dinner...
