Controversies of numerous kinds and of varying importance follow our participation in war. There is at present some discussion as to whether American soldiers and sailors be allowed to wear medals offered by foreign governments. France has given war crosses to those who withstood the first German raid, but the recipients, although appreciating the honor, are warned not to wear them.

...football Yale four times rushed the ball from her own 20-yard line down the field in a series of 5 yard plunges that resulted in touchdowns. The Colgate attack forced the ball to the opponents' 1 yard line on one occasion, but the Yale defence stiffened perceptibly and withstood the attack, holding the visitor's for downs. In the third period Colgate penetrated the defence of a substitute eleven, and scored a touchdown for her lone tally...
