...football game this afternoon will be the first severe test to which the eleven has been subjected. The game with Dartmouth was played before the team was fairly organized; the other games were with very inferior teams. But Brown has already proved her strength by forcing the ball to within a few yards of Yale's goal line. If the eleven this afternoon keeps the Brown backs from making any substantial gains, one may feel reasonably comfortable about the football outlook.

...largely an unknown quantity, may be taken as a basis for a general group, but nothing more. Needs, on the other hand, can be determined with considerable accuracy, and offer a far more practicable basis for subdivision. As matters stand, the rational order of things is totally reversed. The test, fit for subdividing, is used for the general group; the test fit only for the general group is used for the subdivision...
