...time has come when the English and French have had to resort to reprisals for the air raids over undefended towns. Not until every other means of stopping them had been exhausted were the Allies justified in stooping to this policy, but the blood of their murdered non-combatants calls for action, not the action of mere vengeance, as would men of other races and other character, but action for protection.

...defence, both teams were on a par. The Yale line was invincible and Princeton had to resort to the open game which was broken up with comparative case. The Yale team put up a good fight in this game as in all the earlier games and they should put up another hard game tomorrow. They are a fighting team with an indomitable spirit, an indefatigable attack, and an invincible defence...
