...general inconsistency in fundamentals which the playing of those men from the class of 1917, who had received their fundamental training before Coach Rush came to Princeton, displayed, has been responsible for Princeton's lack of team play in the crucial moments and consequently the loss of Harvard and Yale games. Next year, however, every man on the team will be a Rush-coached man from fundamentals up and the standard of the team's playing will be far above former years...
...doubted that austerity in America is a quality rare enough to appear to be "ex machina." But seeing a miracle, to suppose that there must be pullies and cardboard is to be really suspicious and of small soul.

One would have thought the undergraduates cared little whether the team representing their own university won or lost. Last Saturday's game might as well have been played...
Captain Dadmun denounced the lack of support given the team by the class, but commended the spirit of those who attended the meeting. Coach Rollins gave a resume of the season to date, telling how the team had gone through its crucial test in the Exeter game and had only just found itself.
