...Agora team was awarded the decision because of its ability to meet the arguments presented by the affirmative and to conclusively refute them, point by point, by indisputable authority. The greatest strength of the Forum speakers lay in their power of presenting, and following out concisely their constructive case...

Newhall makes an ideal quarterback, for, besides running the team well, he handles the ball with much surety on punts and is of the greatest service in making forward passes, onside kicks, and drop kicks.

Much time has also been spent in teaching the men how to prevent the successful use of these two plays by opponents. In the game today Captain Foster will fill the position of left halfback, and for this reason the secondary defense should be much stronger than it was in the Brown game a week...
