...Almost every kind of gun will be displayed and there will be specimens of the shells, great and small, that are used to feed the guns, of the grenades, and bombs used for aerial warfare, and of all the weapons of offence and defence. There are too, the aeroplanes which have seen service among the clouds at the front, and many relics, some of them gruesome, all characteristic of the terrible struggle. The airship in which Norman Prince '08 plunged to his death has been sent by special dispensation of the French government...

I provided the strings and I know not how many unfortunate Siberian horses sacrified their tails for the bows. All the war prisoners, particularly the Hungarians, need music almost as much as food.

But the Yale team, though heavier, has not worked together in its present form as long as has the University because of the frequent injuries which have from time to time forced some of the best players on the Blue squad to retire from the game. Such men as Bingham, Braden and Sheldon have been lost to Yale, and consequently today's probable line-up will contain...
