...Connell, regular end, and Gildea, first string substitute, will be hors decombat. The former has been suffering from a leg injury sustained in the Dartmouth game, but Dr. Richards expected that the rugged end would be in shape for tomorrow's intersectional clash. O'Connell's recovery has been slow, however, and his place will be taken by Harding. The exact nature of Gidea's ailment was not revealed...

It is even intimated from time to time that this alleged hostility affects trade between the two continents.
