...University crew victory over Princeton on Lake Carnegie tomorrow, but in this year of an absolutely new start for crew work in both colleges, no true comparison of the opposing eights can be made until after the race. The outcome of the clash between the Freshman crews can still less be forecast, as the 1921 eights have not yet been forced to show their speed and no basis, other than preparatory school records, for a comparison of the individuals exists.

Let us not turn deaf ears to advisers who know of what they speak. We owe it to our soldiers that they may go forth not less bravely but with open and determined minds, realizing that it is to battle and not to sport they go. This war is not one of headlines and billheads, it is man against man in deadly earnest. We are not the only great nation involved. Let us, for the moment, set aside...
