...Stadium, no new songs will be sung; it will be a war time game. We, that is, all but the freshmen, do not even know who plays each position on the two teams In former years we could all run through our line-up much easier than decline a French verb; the name Mahan meant more than words can describe. The War has changed it all; new comers fresh from preparatory schools are the men we rely on to help wipe away the stigma of last year's defeat. It is quite a responsibility for the 1921 team.

It is the soldier's oasis in the midst of the horrors of battle. The French and the Italians want the American Y. M. C. A. to take up its work behind their lines and it has promised to comply.
