...However, towards the end of the afternoon they pulled together and put up an excellent game. With a good coach and two weeks' practice this years' nine would be the best one any freshman class has had for a long time. The weakest spot on the nine is first base. Hall, who played this position for three innings, put up a decidedly wretched game of ball and was directly responsible for four runs. Walker who took his place was a little better but he too was very unsteady and unreliable. The catching of Brown was not all that could...
Ninety-seven came to the bat first. Lord struck out, Beale got his base on balls and went to third on Fox's hit. Cozzens made a brilliant stop of Scott's liner and threw him out at first, Fox going to second. Martin then knocked an easy fly to Hall who misjudged it badly then made a wild throw, and Beale and Fox both scored. Martin was thrown out in trying to steal second. The freshmen went out in one, two, three order...

...Frank Rall, of Des Moines, Iowa, was the second Yale speaker. He said: "The friends of the income tax law base their defence largely upon the financial need. Their argument rests upon two false assumptions: that the measure met this need, and that it was the best way of meeting it. The need was an immediate one, but no revenues could come from this tax for ten months, and the amount even then would be uncertain. A better source of aid was open - the internal revenue taxes. Here was a source of revenue, three times that estimated for this...
