...Crimson line was weak. Parson stood out among the centre Linemen like a giant among pygmies, and was as effective as ever. Bigelow was fair. Dadmun, however, is still inexperienced, and cannot yet be counted as a powerful figure. Duncan seemed to be deplorably weak. Gilman was out of the game with a sprained ankle, and there apparently was no substitute worthy to replace the big regular. Cowen, too, was hors de combat with an injured ligament in the calf...

They have been like the man who thinks he is so careful about his own domestic affairs that it is unnecessary to insure his buildings, until his neighbor's house catches fire. To the great mass of our people the advocates for a league to enforce peace can well say that the proposal they urge...
