...Haven, Conn., November 3. When the Yale regulars reported for practice today, they were first given, a brief review of their errors in the Army game Saturday, and then were put through a long signal drill followed by a short rehearsal of plays. There were no injured men, and for the first time after a game, the line-up remained unchanged. Coach Jones retaining on the first team the same eleven players who first faced the Army. These were: Bingham and Luman, ends; Joss and Butterworth, tackles; Wortham and Sturhahn, guards; Captain Lovejoy, center; Bunnell, quitter; Pond, Cottle, and Allen...

The current Educational Review points out that a wrong answer counts no more against a student than inability to answer at all. From the beginning students are encouraged to write "something", whether they know anything or not. This dangerous facility is carried into college, and the student, trained unconsciously in this form of intellectual immorality, develops the art of bluffing to its highest degree...
