...other epic ball games, as a clash between the Lampoon and CRIMSON editors is hinted at surreptitiously. In the past the journalistic forces have uncorked a brand of strategy that has resulted annually in a 23 to 2 win.

A contest between managers and batboys is planned for the near future, as the third contest on the ultra-amateur diamond...

To Secretary Joslin were ascribed the White House invitation to Bryan Untiedt...
Pressure has been brought to bear by Stanford and Dartmouth graduates of Greater Boston to make possible the first Stanford game in Boston, and hotel men, anxious for the increased trade have joined in the protest at the mayor's action. In view of these facts, the consensus is that the H.C.-B.C. game will be played on November 28 in Fenway Park, with the Big Green and Stanford meeting in the Stadium on the same date.
