As a result of the psychological examinations given to the Freshman class at Yale under the direction of Dr. J. E. Anderson of the Yale Psychological Department, it was found that the average of the football numeral men was two points above that of the entire class.

The purpose of the tests was to determine their value in predicting whether men are going to fall or succeed at college. It is also hoped that by comparing the results of this and former years better tests and methods may be resulted out for meeting the requirements of the college situation.
