...spite of the evidence presented to the contrary in Mencken's Green Book of Aphorisms, one can rationally suppose that the genus homo Americanus, who is so used to gathering meaning from ordinary tables, box scores and bond quotation lists will prove equal to the task of supporting an annual change of time. At any rate the people have received a new right of untold possibilities, for now they can set their clocks when and where they choose with no fear of chiding from a law-stricken conscience...
Dartmouth found her aerial attack useless against the men from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Resorting to straight line drives, the Green backs put over three touchdowns for a 21-0, victory, but all this scoring was done in two periods, and for the remainder of the game the southerners had the Granite Staters on their toes constantly to avert possible scoring threats...

The latter, in particular, shone behind the line last Saturday with several spectacular runs. He was personally responsible for two of his team's three touchdowns, one of which came...
