Among the honored guests of the University on Saturday was His Honor Ex-Mayor Curley of Boston. Behind this famous gentleman sat Richard M. Russell '14, Mayor of Cambridge. At one point in the game a Harvard player missed a long forward pass, with terrible fumbling. The Mayor of Cambridge leaned forward to the emeritus mayor of Boston and said, slyly, "Even Jim Foley didn't do as badly as that...
Army did not bother to use any first string men for more than one period against Coe, hence the crowd saw nothing of Jack Buckler. Of the incredible team which Coach Gar Davison has built from football wreckage in his first season, Halfback Buckler is the most dangerous player because of his ability to pass unerringly while running at top speed. Fortnight ago Yale rarely could guess what Buckler was up to, could do little about it when they guessed right...

Coach Eddie Casey put his "A" team against the "B" team in a dummy scrimmage, and then tried the "B" and "C" teams against each other, but he risked no chance of losing another player through injuries. "Red" Choate definitely will not get into the battle this Saturday, and Walter White will take his place at left end. The lineup will be: White, l.e.; Rogers, l.t.; Crane, l.g.; Casey, c.; Gundlach, r.g.; Kopans, r.t.; Nazro, r.e.; Haley, q.b.; Sherman, Locke, l.h.b.; Lane, r.h.b.; Dean...
