...useful combination of line thrusts and runs off tackle, but there was little deception and the mixture was not always a happy one. The best exemplification of the fast running alert attack shown in the East was furnished by Harvard and Colgate. The latter team, however, suffered from the lack of a quarterback who had mastered the art of playing the concertina with the defence...
...education will find farm life unattractive is not intrinsically sound. Naturally, higher education should develop an appreciation of the conveniences of civilization, aesthetic qualities, and a desire for a healthy social life.

C., or a cavalier's song, with the Great War so near us that an ex-President of the United...
...coach at New Haven will not suffer from lack of material with which to build a team, although 13 letter men will be lost by graduation: Wilson, White, J. Sheldon, Guernsey, Wiedemann, Way, Higginbotham, Scovil, Chatfield-Taylor, Roberts, Savage, Milton and Von Holt. The first eight of these were practically regulars last season, though many substitutions were made in the Princeton and Harvard games...
