Brown-"The report is in part false and in toto so misleading. ..." New York University-"[Our] athletics are in control of the faculty and they keep [our] sport clean." President Ernest Martin Hopkins of Dartmouth-"I pass the report over as inconsequential at this time." Football Coach William Winston Roper of Princeton-"In ten years of coaching I've never made an effort to recruit a schoolboy athlete." Dean Herbert Edwin Hawkes of Columbia: "We at Columbia College have no athletic scholarships...

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...
