...very probable that the old records for the course made by the late lamented Overton of Yale will go by the board with such a galaxy of star harriers. No one can say who will be the first man to cross the tape, but it is fairly certain that first honors will be captured by one of five stars, each from a different college: McDermott of Cornell, Higgins of Columbia, Rogers of Princeton Simmons of Syracuse or MacMahon of M. I. T. Second choices who may upset the "dope" are Watson of Syracuse, Brown and Irish of Cornell, and McCulloch...
...played such an effective game against Centre College, and who has been out with a sprained wrist ever since, will be in condition for the Brown game. However, during his enforced absence, Kane, Macomber and Crocker have shone with unusual brillience, and it is not at all certain that Coach Fisher will take out any one of them to make a place for Gaston, who has been out for so long...
...elevens fought desperately to a 14 to 14 tie on Soldiers Field.

Keck put up by all odds the greatest exhibition of line-play that has been seen in the Stadium this year. The ubiquitous Keck, who tips the scales at a paltry 212 pounds, is faster than many an end. This "ring-tailed roarer and curly wolf" covered...
...long period of time. I very early learned and have frequently been distinctly re-impressed with the fact that an onlooker cannot take his eyes off the field of play for even a brief time without missing some very interesting proceeding on the field of play. I am certain in my own mind that anyone who attended a game and was compelled to rely upon a program in order to determine who had made some unusual play on the field would discard the program inside of five minutes after the game started, because the spectator would have discovered that, during...
