...anyone is in doubt as to what his part should be with regard to these military courses, let him attend the meeting in the New Lecture Hall tonight. He will be appealed to not on any emotional grounds, but from a standpoint of cold logic...

A large number of the members of the University who intended to take courses at the camp this summer are now in the service of the country and from practically every standpoint it was deemed inadvisable to attempt to hold the camp this year.

LaRoche and Jacques were responsible for Yale's fumbles, especially the former, who, although he played a good offensive game, was unable to judge the University's punts accurately...
