This evening the center of attention for Yale men will be in Montclair, New Jersey, where the sons of Eli are to hold their annual "win, lose, or draw" barn party. The meeting this year is of interest to the public as well, because retiring Coach Bill Roper of Princeton will be the guest of honor. By inviting Mr. Roper to attend this hitherto exclusively Yale gathering, the New Haven graduates not only express their own admiration for their guest but also give evidence of the fine sportsmanship that intercollegiate rivalry can create...
...many years Mr. Roper sent Princeton elevens on the road to gridiron fame and to not a few victories over the Crimson and over the Blue. His retirement at the close of the late football season leaves him with a reputation of having won, in addition to a great many games, the respect of those universities which at one time or another met his teams on the athletic field.

...letter to the Princeton Alumni Weekly a graduate of that institution advocates giving the game of football back to the students. The present predicament at Princeton with the retirement of Roper as coach is seen as an opportunity to try out this theory, Harvard will be the first to join with Princeton in this venture, according to the writer, and the influence of these colleges will rescue intercollegiate football from the oblivion towards which over-mechanization and the autocratic control of coaches is rushing...
Last week Gifford Pinchot, Pennsylvania's Republican nominee for governor, lost the vote of William Winston ("Bill") Roper, famed Princeton football coach. Mr. Roper who, away from Princeton, is a Philadelphia councilman from the Germantown district, announced that he would bolt his party to support John M. Hemphill, Democratic nominee, because he was a thoroughgoing Wet. Bolter Roper managed the 1922 primary campaign which won Mr. Pinchot his first term as governor...
