...results of the scrimmage were perfectly satisfactory to the coaches. Team "B" showed so much snap, and carried their plays through so perfectly that it is evident that if any of these men are put in the game Saturday, their substitution will not materially weaken the team. At any event, they will go into the contest with a thorough knowledge of the plays and a fighting spirit that will be as good as that of team...
Then followed a dummy scrimmage with the second team. Whether the crispness of the weather, or the fact that the Princeton game is only a few days off was responsible for it, the whole team ran through their formations with a preciseness and snap which has not been so evident all season. Time after time, the second team man was stopped in his tracks, time after time the famous Princeton formations were theoretically completely blocked or snowed under.

Captain Callahan, though kept out of games and all scrimmage recently, has been handling the ball enough to show that his aim is as true as ever. The signal session went off with increased snap and boded ill for Folwell's Navy team. There were no really serious injuries following Saturday's defeat of the Generals.

...series of biographical sketches of snap courses was to be written, it would follow a mould as definite as do the histories of nations. A thoroughly sincere instructor offers an interesting subject in a manner so informal, so free from petty demands, that once this reputation is established the course is over whelmed by that class of incomprehensible students who regard a successful life impossible without a college degree but meanwhile struggle to make that degree mean as little as possible...
There is obviously something unfair in the attitude that forces an instructor to impose petty requirements on a course in order to free it from the stigma of classification as a snap. The system is wrong that compels a professor to act toward his classes as a policeman continually watching for minor infringements of obscure ordinances that would never be necessary if the student could learn to interpret broadly and honestly the spirit of a few inclusive laws...
