Judge William Squire Kenyon, appeared in Washington Brig. -Gen. Smedley Darlington ("Gimlet Eye") Butler, famed marine, recent drier-up Quantico, Va. (but not of Philadelphia, where his strongarm methods were disapproved). For two hours he told them what he thought of Prohibition: "The grossest piece of class legislation in the country's history . . . like using 16-in. guns to kill sparrows...
...from an estimate of the ability and immediate possibilities of the players this rating seems essentially sound. Shields has been acclaimed the coming star of the country by Tilden, Richards, and others who ought to know. Anyone who has taken the time to watch this youngster with a critical eye cannot doubt the truth of the prediction. He has unlimited possibilities if he would only take the game seriously.

...used last season, the ends wide and a back in motion. Line bucks, off-tackle slants, and end runs were checked by a forward and lateral passing attack. A surprising variation in such an early game was a criss-cross. The backfields, which have been working under the experienced eye of Coach Casey, functioned in good early season order. The timing was off, on occasion, as was shown by the narrow failure of several of the forward passes attempted. Several members of the ball carrying squad exhibited a style of play which should cause trouble to future opponents after more...
