There were four separate scrimmages for the University football squad yesterday afternoon in the first day's work of the week. The first of these was between teams A and B, which fought for a short time without either side being able to score. Then the Freshmen were brought on the field and sent against team A for ten minutes. The University was given the ball and within two minutes E. L.

Though the work was light, the men were kept on the go all the time and not allowed to slow...
...prophesying that this is going to happen. But it may happen. And we continue talking about pacifism, talking about politics, talking about national defence, always talking, always bluffing, playing up to the sluggishness, indifference or ignorance of the mass, or boosting short-cut enthusiasms. Nothing is done. Every minute calls for action. And the fact is that each year one War Department sinks deeper and deeper into a mire of incompetence and chaos...
