The National Assembly was undoubtedly quite within its rights in refusing to allow foreign schools of a different faith to make converts of its citizens; but with such summary action, it is almost inevitable that the gain in internal religious morale will be more than offset by a subsequent coldness of diplomatic relations...
...Crimson victory in the first game, upsetting the predictions of the dopesters, and the neck-and-neck struggle in the Tiger's own lair, which went to Princeton only after a ninth inning rally, will offset in some measure the comparative scores which make the Orange and Black the favorite for tomorrow.

To offset these reverses, there are no more impressive victories than a 4 to 0 shutout of Tufts and a 14 to 4 batfest at the expense of Trinity...
