Through its director, J. F. Dwinnell '02, the Harvard Placement Office is planning to arrange meetings with Seniors who are in doubt as to what occupation they will follow. This office, newly created, is primarily for the purpose of aiding alumni, but arrangements are also being made for the placement of Seniors as well. Vocational advice to upperclassmen will also be made even though ultimate placement does not necessarily follow...

Without the aid of little Coach Roper's cards to help them, Princeton's Wittmer and Miles and Requardt paused at crucial moments; "Whitey" Lloyd of the Navy did not, scoring a field goal from placement and a touchdown from Navy's 24 yard line. Thus Navy beat Princeton, which no other team has done this year...
