...that in each of his two years of service at Nassau he has given the Orange and Black that which it has lacked since the modern game was devised in the winter of 1905-a rounded offence. Rush knows football. He knows as much football as Tad Jones or Haughton does. And in many ways he is as well qualified to teach it. There years ago he was coaching a preparatory school eleven in the West. Last year he produced an eleven that outrushed and out-downed both Harvard and Yale.

In the face of great difficulties, Coach Haughton has developed a fighting unit which has defeated Cornell and Princeton. However strong the Yale eleven may prove, we may feel certain that the omnipresent influence of Haughton's system will be evident. This year's football team deserves greater credit than some of the more famous teams of former years, for it has proved its worth against great odds. If the eleven picked men live...
