...question of leadership this year is highly important in University affairs. To keep our college life on a normal, peace-time basis we must have hard-working, conscientious officers. Theirs is no easy task; they have as much work to carry on as their predecessor, yet with only half the old number of assistants. So we must get out of our heads the idea that these elections are merely a formality. Good officers and a respected class go hand in hand...
...fighting in the open. The regular Tiger cannot uphold his reputation this year, his cubs must do it for him. But these young tigers are just as loathe to have knots tied in their tails. They will not submit without a struggle. The 1921 eleven has a daring task ahead. So far it has not met its better, but it is never safe to use this as proof that it will not.

...great surprise to the coaches themselves; the original Dark Horse must have been a Freshman. Yet from what we have seen of the Freshman elevens at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton so far this year, it will be safe to say the University first year men have no easy task ahead of them. Last Saturday these Freshmen only tied Exeter Academy, 7 to 7, the New Hampshire team holding the position of weather-cock this year. The Yale 1921 eleven defeated Exeter 20 to 0, while Princeton scored 12 to the schoolboys 6. Thus Exeter which gave our team a thoroughly...
...thought calculated to sober the most heedless; and the accompanying reflection that it is for them in their security to do something at least approximating in value what many of their contemporaries are doing at the peril of their lives must provide an unaccustomed spur for the daily task. The pity would be if there were no response to it. --Alumni Ballctin...
