They saw the vaunted Michigan backs-(Harmon, Kromer, Westfall and Evashevski)-trot onto the field and in less time than it takes to say Evashevski make sausage meat of a not-so-bad Yale team that had beaten Army and Columbia earlier in the season...

But because of the lack of indoor facilities, riding, gun drill, and pistol practice must be postponed until spring when only a fraction of the men who could take part in these activities in winter are able to do so at this time. Thus, of course, the benefits derived from R. O. T. C. training would be greatly extended if some form...
