...Graduate School's five line-up an impressive array of former college stars, including representatives of Indian a University, V. M. I., and Franklin and Marshall, with Captain E. H. De Hority 1G.B. of Indiana leading the race for individual honors. The Business School's center doubled the count of his nearest competitor, rolling up eight baskets and three foul tallies for a total of 19 points...

...anyone doubts that Harvard students have a flair for hats, let him view the array now spread out in the Crimson office as mementos of a football victory over Yale. When the excitement had died away after the game, the Crimson, alert to the interest of its readers, organized a hat exchange. Many forlorn hats which had become separated from their fathers were thus restored to their homes. Yet now two weeks after the game the orphan hats number nearly thirty.
