...want war? I do not think there is anything in the present situation to justify our rushing hot-headedly to arms? If we had declared war on Germany at the time the Lusitania was sunk, we might have claimed at least a man's-size pretext.

The touchdown which gave the University its second defeat since 1911 was due to a long gain by Captain Westcott...
