...spite of the disastrous termination of Princeton's football season, Lawrence Perry, sporting editor of the New York post, does not blame J. H. Rush, the Tigers' head coach. Following are extracts from a recent article in which he exonerates Rush and urges that he be retained at Princeton...
...Princeton men are far from satisfied with the work of their team in both the Harvard and Yale games-particularly in the Yale contest. I have yet to learn that there is any dissatisfaction with John H. Rush, the coach. It may be premature, but none the less the prediction may be hazarded that every Princetonian who can see beyond his nose-in other words, the great bulk of the student and alumni body-will back Nassau's football instructor whole-heartedly.

Where others saw a possibility, you clearly saw a certainty, and your sacrifice has led to our presence...
...general inconsistency in fundamentals which the playing of those men from the class of 1917, who had received their fundamental training before Coach Rush came to Princeton, displayed, has been responsible for Princeton's lack of team play in the crucial moments and consequently the loss of Harvard and Yale games. Next year, however, every man on the team will be a Rush-coached man from fundamentals up and the standard of the team's playing will be far above former years...
