...feature of the drill was the successful drop-kicking of Captain Mahan, Robinson, and Whitney. This form of attack was the only one used from scoring position, and the large number of successive goals from the 20, 25, 30, and 35-yard lines would seem to indicate that great stress is to be laid on this method of scoring. Captain Mahan went through the drill with but one error, and that from the 45-yard line. His kicking was remarkably consistent...
...suitable structure. He returns to find it giving the appearance of a martial host about to sweep down up on Cambridge. Our lighter contemporary has already suggested that the lamps were anything but neutral, but with their present aureate decorations the worst foars of a Teutonic invasion seem realized. Would it savor too much of a carping spirit to suggest that the present color scheme might be toned down with great advantage...
...Watson's experience, but he is a faster and more tricky runner with the ball. Today's game will shown whether or not he is the better man at directing the crimson attack.

The Princeton line has suffered so far through lack of coaching, but this ought to improve...

It is of the same stuff with our good-humored contempt for introspection, our dread of the 'morbid', our dislike of conflicting issues and insoluble problems. The sporting attitude is a grateful and easy one, Issues are decided cleanly. No irritating fringes are left over. The game is won or lost. Analysis and speculation seem superfluous. The point is that such a philosophy is as different as possible from that which...
