...Princeton Triangle Club will take the longest tour ever arranged for a college dramatic organization in the Christmas holidays. The schedule arranged for "The Evil Eye," this year's musical production, takes in thirteen cities, necessitating the club's travelling about 5,000 miles. The usual spring performance will also be given in Princeton, and probably some other nearby city, making 25 performances...
...University is the most remarkable story in football history. With an extraordinary combination of foresight, originality, and football knowledge, he has built up from raw material a series of successful teams; and the term "Haughton system" sums up this record in the minds of all who have ever heard of football. During his eight years as head coach, the University has defeated Yale five times, losing only one game and tying two.

Penn. State, with a team hailed as the best ever, and with a record of having tied last year's championship eleven, next came to Cambridge and after the test at the Stadium went back to Pennsylvania with a 13 to 0 defeat. Although the Harvard line was inferior, and the interference still noticeably weak, Captain Mahan's brilliant play and Parson's keen following of the ball gave the University two touchdowns, which proved decisive. In this game there appeared for the first time an embryonic power in the University's attack, ragged but great, for the second score...
