...they had lacked since 1899, a dependable ground-gaining system. It would be blinking the situation to assume that Princeton, win or lose, will have an attack which will give pause to her strongest opponents. Certainly, he has the material to work with. In Driggs he has a punter good for any distance up to sixty yards, and a man who showed late last season that he knows how to turn the ends. In Tibbott he has a dangerous open field-runner and an expert drop-kicker. In Moore he has a fast, elusive back. We shall see Princeton this...
...Casey '19, has not been up to the standard of former first-year nines, mainly because of a scarcity of as excellent material available for Coach Ball to develop this season.

In times of national danger the method of service is undoubtedly clear. It is during "good times" when business is booming and prosperity seems eternal that a different kind of service is needed. It is a service which requires political activity instead of political passivity...
...dual battle with Harvard. The large number of 29 oarsmen was taken on the camp list, since the coach felt anything but certain as to the final lineup of the crew. The Gales Ferry practice has of course been very beneficial to the Yale crews, as well as good fun for the oarsmen, for here strenuous work was done to get at the main faults of the boats and speedy remedies were applied. A week or so at Gales Ferry proved conclusively to the coaching staff that three more changes were necessary before the first crew was the ship...
