...main problem this fall was to find space on which the teams might play. One day last month there were 133 men playing on Soldiers Field, every available ground being occupied. This situation will probably prevail most of the time next year...

Comparatively few men in the graduate schools seem to be familiar with the game, whereas all the undergraduate students seem to know it. Next season, when the graduate departments enter more teams, the original league will undoubtedly have to be divided into several others...
...naturally resulted in various coaches so planning and teaching defense that these weaknesses ceased to exist, and they even went so far as to have defensive players deliberately make it apparent that they were out of position, in order to invite the offense to strike apparent weaknesses only to find that the weakness was not real when the play was actually under way.

There is, of course, a heart-rending chapter on "Antiques for a Song," consisting largely of anecdotes, but there is also a cheerful chapter, highly...
