...starting line-up may also have an unfavorable psychological reaction on the team. The hardest blow of all to the hopes of the new Dartmouth coaching staff however was the long casualty list which resulted from last week's conquest of the Virginia Cavaliers. Not only was Don Erion, veteran tackle star, put out for the season in that encounter but Bill Clark, Harry Deckert, and Eddie Chamberlain were also injured. It is unlikely that Chamberlain will have recovered sufficiently to get into the game, and although there is a possibility that Clark and Deckert, two outstanding triple threat backs...
Harry Ellinger, Green line coach has developed a strong forward wall out of a group of inexperienced candidates. Elbert Camp and Dick Carpenter are the two veteran rangy ends who starred last year and have been playing the same steady game this season.

One Confederate private, rummaging the battleground during a truce after Fredericksburg, was reprimanded by a Federal officer for salvaging a rifle; the officer said that was against the rules. Said the butternut veteran: "Never mind, I'll shoot you tomorrow and git them boots." That Lee's example of considerate politeness sometimes had its effect on his men was shown by one of them who was struggling to get a shoe off a Federal corpse. When the supposed corpse lifted its head reproachfully...
