...their line crumbled before the Navy defense. This was especially apparent during the first quarter when the Annapolis ends and tackles were stopping the runner before he reached the line of scrimmage. This is well illustrated by the fact that the midshipmen gained 122 yards through the line in comparison with Princeton's 30. The Tiger backfield is one of the strongest that has been seen this fall, but unless Princeton develops a line which is far stronger than it now is, it will have little chance against the towering Harvard line. It seems now that Princeton, like Centre, will...
...inconceivable that a man who has been found guilty, as the Congressman says, "of the most fiendish cruelties" should be allowed to go free, when soldiers who committed what in comparison to the offenses of "Hard-Boiled Smith" were "trivial infractions of the military code" are still serving, time at Leavenworth.

The University's brace against Fordham and Tufts looked all the more promising in that Felton and Goode showed their best brand of pitching throughout the season. Coxe's unexpected shut-out of the Tigers in the best game he has pitched since facing the Giants a year ago boosted Yale's pitching stock tremendously. They had been regarded as a "one-pitcher" team, due to the apparent reliability of Selleck alone...
