Though several of the regular linesmen went through the preliminary workout, it was observed that a substitute line entered the mix-up and that the backfield was second string material. It is obvious that Coach Ryan hopes to be able to enter a team with somewhat of its full strength in Saturday's struggle, and that he is carefully nursing his injured men for that purpose...

Just where this plan is of value to the individual and to the colleges is not clear; its value to the army is obvious. If the men can not qualify by the admission examination then no amount of army service can make them desirable students, nor will the education be of value to them. If they can qualify, it seems a waste of time to teach them the Manual of Arms...
