...fray, the countless thousands who will attend can be sure of a spectacular clash between the old-time rivals. The battle will be open to the public and the sympathizers with the players of each team will be allowed to express their sympathies actively, by joining in the strife and supporting their favorites in time of need...

Some will certainly be influenced to neglect or at least not pursue vigorously their College work, but most of these are already preparing for France. Another group, far greater in number, includes undergraduates whom the seriousness of the times encourages to strive for College distinction with greater eagerness. In addition to both these, another class exists, uninfluenced...
