Prof. White has kindly offered to give those men who attend the Thanksgiving game another half-hour examination in Greek 7, if they desire it, instead of the one which will take place next Tuesday...
...high state of perfection, and in their preliminary game their standard has even surpassed that of Yale's former elevens. With Princeton however, they scored actually less than our team did although their defensive game was much more effective. Taking this into account if we were able to place our best team in the field we would have no need to despair of success.

This manager would have perfect right...
