...chief additions which will be made to the magazine will consist in a summary of information regarding the authorship and nature of new books and of articles in periodicals; the general department will be enlarged, and an effort will be made to print contributions of enduring value to economic science...

That Yale did not play to win was apparent. All during the second half, McBride's one effort was to keep possession of the ball and tie the game.
