Coach Wachter has chosen McLeish to team up with Fitts at forward; McLeish has improved remarkably the last two weeks, and in the Springfield game he was high scorer for the team. Although weak in receiving passes, he is fast, shifty, and has an accurate aim for baskets. Tyson has recovered his early season form at center, and his injured ankles are now recovered. Feiring and Chase compose the defense, although the former needs practice to bring him to the level of the others.

...first Architectural School Year Book ever published has just been received from the press. The aim of the book is to give a more concrete impression of what the School aims to do than any catalogue can, by showing photographs and pictures of designs and work done by students in the various courses.

The pressure toward readjustment is strong: the future career of the French premier may depend much upon his obtaining the desired...
...methods by which this end is to be attained are as unusual as the aim itself. From the coal used in the engines he will extract the benzol, which he thus obtains free through the sale of the valuable by-products. From this benzol he will get as much energy as from the original amount of coal through an efficient boiler system. This, together with the "sweating of executive brows" will provide the wherewithal to buy the sewing machines and phonographs. The autos he does not need to worry about...
