...When the time comes, there is going to be a mighty struggle for ideals. That is why the universities and colleges of America should be the centre of a kind of manhood that is soldierly, that has moral decision and generalship. The battle front in Europe moves onward slowly, thrusting out a wedge in the enemy's line, and gradually widening that narrow wedge until the whole line is even with it, and ready to push forward a new attack in another place.

...poor-grade football. There was loose handling of the ball by both elevens. For the fumbling of kicks elemental conditions provided adequate excuse, but hands were inexcusably slivery in other cases. Both teams injured themselves through commission of faults calling for penalties. And the rivals indulged in some poor generalship. On the other hand, both teams produced a strong, if inconsistent, attack--which needed this game to make it better for future contests. The tackling was uniformly good and the interference well executed. Work of both sets of forwards was quite up to the accepted tenets of line play...
