...immediately return to the old form of mass play, but a member of the Committee says that the present "no pushing or pulling" rule will rob the former weight work of its effectiveness. In any case the offense has been balanced, if not over-balanced. With four chances to gain 10 yards and with the privilege to throw the forward pass any distance (thus compelling the defending side to maintain a secondary defence well back of the line of scrimmage) it will require a strong set of forwards to hold even a mediocre back-field for downs. In other words...
...present system of private ownership and operation of industry for private gain, the motive of self-interest again and again conflicts with the public good. But apart from deliberate disregard for the public welfare by individuals, the present system of industry is continually breaking down from forces inherent in itself. For instance, when production is curtailed; when the shops shut down and people are thrown out of employment because of "over-production,"--because too much has been produced! What a paradox!

But without devotion philosophy is helpless; the entire consecration and devotion of reflective thinking to the great mysteries of life alone will point out the true goal of philosophy--the saner and nobler guidance of the individual and of the human...
...intercollegiate cup, presented to the league by E. A. Caswell, will be held one year by the winning team. In order to gain permanent possession of it, however, a team must win it for ten successive years. Of the nineteen tournaments held so far, nine have been won by Harvard, seven by Columbia, and one each by Princeton and Yale. As Harvard and Yale tied for first place two years ago; and Columbia won last year, there is no possibility of any team's securing the cup permanently for at least eight years...
