...Navy brings to the Tigers' lair a fair-to-middling squad, the seasoning of which has been impaired by the late return of several members who rowed on the victorious crew at the Olympic Games at Antwerp this summer. As a result of this, North Carolina forward passed the Midshipmen into a state of coma and snatched the first game of the season, 14-7. Since then, Coach Felwell's men have taken a brace. Folwell will be remembered hereabouts as the coach of the Washington and Jefferson aggregation that no nearly defeated the University here in Buckley's year...

The sympathy enlisted will be in direct ratio to the success that radical propaganda has had. It will be a test case...
...fair to Folwell to blame him for the upheaval. Somebody had to be the "goat," and he was tagged "it" in rather shabby fashion. His vindication as a coach lies in the quickness with which the Naval authorities snatched him up to coach the Midshipmen this fall...
