...conference of delegates from 13 universities held last Tuesday evening at the City Club of New York, an Inter-collegiate League of Civic Clubs was organized. A. G. Fox '69, president of the City Club and of the College Men's Political Association, presided at the meeting, and speeches were made by Mr. F. W. Hinrichs, a prominent graduate of Columbia, and by Mr. C. M. Jesup...

Princeton has held up the strain and danger of injury, but we have punctured this theory by statistics and opinions of authorities. We have called to attention that the danger of football is a danger of bumps...
