...prospects of victory favor Princeton, as no change has been made in her victorious team of last year. Yale has three veterans on her team and Columbia...
...children tax. Thus, in other ways, such as the door and window tax, the present system is inadequate and unjust. The new system has been tried out in England and has succeeded, and in almost all other European countries except France. This is the greatest argument in its favor. The income tax did not bring about the French Revolution. The French deputies, who are nearest the will of the people, voted for it at their last session.

...essential characteristics of capitalism is production and distribution for profit; that of socialism, production and distribution for use. There are four precepts by which capitalism and socialism may be compared. This test is incomplete, but it creates a strong presumption in the favor of socialism.

As had been expected, the game was essentially a kicking game in which Coy had the advantage over Minot, nor was either team able to score on "straight" football. The punting made the game a very open one, in which brilliant individual plays were very frequent. The game was hard...
