Haverford, today's Soldiers Field visitor, has yet to taste defeat, and in the opening game of the season battled Princeton, present leader and a strong favorite, to a 2-2 draw. Princeton has already beaten the Blue and Red of Pennsylvania, and if Haverford accomplishes the same feat and succeeds in beating the University today, Princeton and Haverford will be tied for the title. In this case a play-off will be necessary...
...Yucatan, Edward H. Thompson of the Peabody Museum (Boston), to whom is credited introduction* of the Mayan civilization to modern archeology, rounded out 20 years of work with an extraordinary feat and returned home.

At the kickoff he raced from his goal-line to score a touchdown, a feat which has been accomplished only eleven times in history. During the Michigan game he handled the ball 21 times, gained 355 yards. In the last two years he has taken the ball 244 times, gained 2,424 yards?an average of almost 10 yards per start. This fall he captains...
