...both old and young; old, because he could remember when baseball was played where Memorial Hall now stands; young, by reason of the enthusiasm in the meeting. He said he saw the 17-0 game and the 22-0 game, but that he has rearely seen a team so alert as ours was last Saturday; and alertness which means intelligence in trainer and coach. The difficulty with Harvard teams in the past has been the lack of an intelligent system. Walter Camp's ability has been the chief cause of Yale's success in the past, and whenever Yale...

It was a case of taking advantage of our opportunity, and our opportunities are limited from now on. In this respect the President was alert as usual and seized the opportunity to talk freely about his resignation. The ever-present optimism was the keynote of his speech and we are all enlisted at his invitation in discovering the right man, a man in the very flush of the prime of life, to undertake the responsibilities which have been...
