...Princeton next Saturday. This week promises to be a stiff one for the Princeton team, for it will be necessary to work up a strange offense and improve their defence within the next four days. The work against North Carolina was not without flaws and Rush will strive to perfect his teamwork as much as possible within this week...

Although the volunteers knew little of the war game, they learned enough seamanship to feel perfectly at home on a battleship. "The cruise was very well managed," he said, "especially in view of the fact that it was the first of its kind. The food was good, and the regulars, who were exceedingly gentlemanly, rendered us no small service by their advice and instruction...
