...moment's thought will show that the first objection is not a sound one; anyone who was in the Stadium during the game and heard the spontaneous shout that arose from the Harvard rooters when the long pass was received must admit that everyone wants to know whether it was Crocker or Macomber who caught the ball. The fact that the newspapers-many of them-named the wrong man is not due to the individual ignorance of the men writing the stories. There is a representative of each team in the press box who announces the man with the ball...
Wednesday again saw team "A" go through a light signal drill, dummy scrimmage and punting practice. However, considering it unwise to try to give his men new plays at the last moment, Coach Fisher devoted his time exclusively to going over the old formations.

The class officers manage the smokers, the only social functions that a class goes in for. The class is brought together at these smokers, which must...
This game is the great opportunity for Centre. It is the opening wedge into the jealously-guarded arena of "big games," and the Kentucky eleven intends to make the most of it. Both team and rooters will be fighting their hardest every moment that they are on the field; and though we cannot cheer in the stands with them, we can at least say that it is an honor to cheer in the stands against them...
