Yale's backfield defense is purported to be its weak point, and Eli coach Jack Marshall has been making all sorts of switches to ease the burden on his goalie, Bill Parkhurst. Marshall has moved the Eli's captain, Neil Van Horn, from center halfback to fullback for today's game to solve this problem. Van Horn has been Yale's defensive standout all year long, and is a candidate for all-Ivy. Mal Black will be at the other fullback...

...little except the Klondike. Preachers, policemen, doctors quit their callings and headed for the bitter North. The mayor of Seattle, in San Francisco for a convention, "did not bother to return home, but wired his resignation." From New York came 500 women, mostly widows, by steamer around the Horn. After a fearsome journey, they reached Seattle broke, their hopes of marrying sourdough millionaires shattered...
