...advocating four downs instead of three in which to gain the necessary ten yards, there is that which should always apply to rule makers, namely, a further extension of a principle we know something about rather than a plunge into the dark. Perhaps some football Napoleon could, even with the present three downs, so vary the play of his team as to thrust it along the field for a touchdown. I believe that would be quite possible, but the Napoleon would have too many other things to do--like tackling, passing, punting and getting into interference. Hence the Napoleons...
Most Harvard men know of Dr. Grenfell's remarkably patient and successful work on the Labrador coast and some have worked with him. His work is one which appeals especially to college men on account of its intensity and athletic character. We cannot say that Dr. Grenfell himself appeals to college men more than to other people; but we feel no hesitation for that reason in urging Harvard men to hear the modest missionary of Labrador who is achieving with his own hands the regeneration of inhabitants of our own continent...

But admitting this situation is by no means admitting...
Early in the fall the CRIMSON commented on the selection of Mr. Wilkey as manager of Memorial Hall and looked for a year of great success there. That success has already been made manifest, and everyone should know it. During the first week of this year the average attendance was 660 at each meal, as compared with 670 last year, but the improvement in the food and service soon produced a telling effect. Three weeks later the average attendance for each meal was 967, over a hundred more than the maximum attendance last year. This increase in attendance means that...
