Yale and Vanderbilt played a tie game Saturday at New Haven, neither side being able to score. Throughout the game Vanderbilt showed more power than Yale in rushing, but this advantage was offset by the excellent punting of Deming...
...regulations adopted by the Athletic Association for distribution of tickets for the Dartmouth and Yale games, contain provisions decidedly unfair to the Freshman and Sophomore classes. The report upon which these regulations are based assumes that preferment to graduates in applying for one seat should offset for the two lower classes the preference shown to graduates in applying for two. The relative numerical strength of the two classes proclaims this exchange unjust. If 1000 undergraduates are given better single seats than graduates, the latter will be moved not more than a section either way. If 3000 graduates apply...

There will be a number of promising men who played on the second team and also material from last fall's victorious Freshman team, which should nearly offset these losses, especially if speed rather than weight is to be a factor in the new game...
...Green, the second Yale speaker, submitted the policy which the first speaker for the affirmative had only touched upon briefly--the system of subsidies--which he said would offset the greater cost of building and operating ships here than abroad.

A removal of the protective tariff would accomplish this by lowering not only wages but the cost of construction and operation. This would give us an American merchant fleet, not by an enormous expenditure on subsidization but by putting the shipping industry on a sound business basis. A removal of the tariff would give us a naval reserve, for it would cause the withdrawal...
