This contest will be fought as keenly as any formal game, even though the rewards of victory are slight. Those men who have been practising for a month have shown that team-play and spirit can be developed without the incentive of a definite rival to be beaten.

Though only a Freshman in Harvard College, and below the age at which the nation has called forth its young men, he was ready for service and was among the first to be sent to the front. While in training at Newport News he showed the qualities of leadership that made...
