This is not the place to attempt a review of his accomplishments during his short tenure of that office. Suffice it to say that the most cursory examination of the files of this paper reveals conclusively to what purpose Mr. Bingham has exerted his influence. With the single exception of a serious blunder in the conduct of Harvard's athletic relations with Princeton, including the proposed intersectional game with Michigan, that purpose has been a salutary one. Necessarily, however, one year and a half of office can mark only the initiation of Mr. Bingham's policies. Particularly because collegiate sport...

Clynes: "I don't need to know what the Government is going to propose. Anyone can guess. . . .

The superiority shown by Captain Ellison's team in that contest must count heavily in any attempt to forecast tonight's result. The Harvard record to date is more impressive than that of the Green. A 4 to 3 decision yielded to McGill in an overtime contest early in the season, and a 1 to 1 deadlock with the Toronto skaters, are the only blemishes on the scroll that presents a fine array of Crimson victories, including...
