...when we have examined this institution called intercollegiate football both in the light of adverse criticism and in the light of praise and have determined its characteristics, we must balance off those that are good against those evil.

It is hoped that a meet with the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia may be arranged for the third week in February. A contest...

Carr was in the scrimmage and played his usual strong defensive game, besides showing great improvement on the offense. Montgomery was back at tackle and played an aggressive game. Harrison also played well at fullback. Hall was in at quarterback with the substitutes. He formed strong interference for the man with the ball, but his generalship did not show much ability...
