...hoped that enough funds may be collected here to be presented to Marshal Joffre on his arrival that many thousands of these unwilling and unsharing victims of the war may be relieved from the bare threat of lack of nourishment. Harvard is asked to do its share. Our share can be nothing less than the furthest dollar which we may spare from other and less vital needs. We may never give back to those children the happiness that they have lost, nor abate their desolation in one degree. Yet we may from our abundance spare enough to keep them from...
...shipping. As regards the use of mines, both belligerents are now obviously on an equal footing, as any specific warning in connection with the use of this species of weapon is, of course, out of the question.

His punting makes it expedient that he be placed at fullback; his playing there would make him a good threat, with Casey in the line-up, the latter always ready for a pass or a quick thrust off tackle. Legore would be a good threat as a drop kicker, but Robinson would probably be called upon if a sure score was wanted at a critical time...
