AND PRINCETON?

THE PRESS--

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Princeton 36, Harvard nothing at all: That was on November 7, the same day that 8,000 automobiles which started from Urbana to Chicago after a football game were caught in a blizzard and none of them got home. Their occupants found shelter where they could and the paper says "at Kankakee a large number took refuge in the insane asylum."

Maybe that was where they belonged and if so, it helps a little to explain Princeton's superiority over Harvard. For some reason Harvard does not seem able to play football more than a little bit. But why? Harvard is a large institution with a good many youths in it; a fair proportion of them, no doubt, husky and fleet. She has a stadium; training talent can be engaged and can usually be found. Then why does not Harvard play better football?

Is it possible that her defective showing is a sign of returning sanity? . . . . E. S. Martin in Life, November 26.
