...especially since Murphy is rather frail. Moreover "it would mean putting both his drop-kickers in at once, Aldrich being the other reliance in this line. In spite, then, of his excellent exhibition of running, forward passing and drop-kicking in the Carnegie game, Murphy will remain the foremost threat on the Yale sidelines, ready to go into the game at any time the Blue attack is held up with in the opponents 45-yard line. Coach Jones is taking no chances of a recurrence of Murphy's experience last year, when he was injured in the game with Boston...

But it was, of course, understood that calamity would befall them if they did not repent--yet clearly only if they did not do so. The object was repentance, not destruction. The threat of the consequences of their sin was the means of bringing about reform.

...likelihood that the Freshman Jubilee will be cancelled this spring is almost incredible to the upper classmen who have taken part in that function in past years. It appears that the Freshman class is like a spoiled child who must be disciplined by the threat' of taking away one of his toys. There is little doubt that the class of 1923 has been spoiled. Now the very Jubilee itself is to be considered a gift from the Faculty and not a thing to be worked for by the class...
