...alternative, then, is to employ certain specialists at certain times or to maintain a staff of coaches the year round whose dominant characteristic is their mediocrity. Mediocrity is implied if only for the reason that the cost of maintaining permanently a group of men such as Haughton, Tad Jones, et al, would be altogether prohibitive--assuming they could be induced to devote all their time to athletics at any price...
...reception late in the afternoon which was attended by all the former Yale athletic stars who had come to take part in the reunion. Cheer on cheer was given for Captain Black and the victorious team, as well as for Captain Gates of next year's team, Coach Tad Jones, Johnny Mack, the trainer, the scrubs, Captain Myer of the crew, and Captain Overton of the track team. Following the reception a dinner was given to the football team...

Although the Princeton freshmen were defeated 39 to 0 in a ragged game last Saturday, the defeat by the Yale 1920 eleven shows that Exeter is not as powerful as last year. The Academy eleven defeated 1919 by the score of 22 to 10 a year ago, and the present Freshmen now have the opportunity to turn the tables on Exeter by winning this afternoon...
