...next two weeks "Beat Yale" will be the slogan, the one and only password at Soldiers Field. Coach Fisher and his staff believe firmly that they have on hand the material and the spirit to overcome the Elis. Captain Kane and his men think the same. If the Centre College win put the Crimson players into the fighting mood that it did, the Tiger victory has brought that cool but enraged state of mind which brooks no defeat and which is usually determined enough to accomplish its purpose...
