The second, "Twenty Pounds Too Little," pictures a woman, who, from lack of food, has become almost a skeleton, lying on a bare mattress in an underground squalid room, while sitting about her are her husband and little son.

More significant: Nebraska at last had a paved road running from...
This year's team ran much closer meets, ekeing out a bare five-point victory over Yale and Princeton in the H-Y-P meet. The decisive factor which made Harvard's hopes look bright for the Intercollegiates, however, was the practice which they received on the hilly Brookline Country Club...
