Only yesterday the details of Captain Guynemer's funeral were announced. This most brilliant of French aviators was finally brought down behind German lines, but his life and record had been so glorious that even Germans had to honor him in death. They invited his companions in service to attend his burial and they gave them a safe-conduct across their lines. On that day a group of French planes flying close to the ground went over German lines and landed at a small village, the whole populace of which was showing its respect for the French hero. After...
...Freshmen forwards showed brilliant flashes of good individual form, but their lack of co-operation accounts for the fact that no goals were scored. The whole informal team put up a stubborn man-to-man defence which broke up the opposing rushes, but was of no offensive value...

Enwright '18 and Cannell of Dartmouth compose a fast backfield, which can be depended upon for long gains. Skilton, the former B. A. A. hockey star, has developed rapidly under Coach Leary, while C. A. Clark, Jr., '19, Algar of Tufts and O'Connor of Georgetown are well-known college linemen. A. Horween '20, a recruit from the University informals, will start at centre, although he may be supplanted...
