Comment on the effectiveness of the sweeping changes adopted by the National Football Rules Committee yesterday will have to be reserved for next autumn when the new rules are tried out in actual play. It is fairly safe, however, to predict the success of some of them, while others will have to be viewed with considerable doubt.

...news has yet been received from my venerable sire in China, whom false, malicious rumor has reported still fleeing before the Japanese invasion. But knowing his disciples' voracious eagerness for his veracious analyses of gridiron contests, I ventured to substitute myself in the great man's place and predict for tomorrow major clashes: Dartmouth 7 Stanford 0 Yale 20 Princeton 3 Notre Dame 19 Army...
