...only thing that was colder than the shooting of the Crimson five last night in the game against Coach Hank McCarthy's well-drilled M.I.T. quintet was Dangar Gym, and this bad marksmanship combined with the fact that a tall Tech team was willing to drive in for the basket resulted in a 29 to 24 defeat for the Feslermen in their first game of the season...
Besides its line of hearty staples, Charles began to stock delicacies high of tang and price-pate with truffles, cocks' combs and kidneys, diamondback rattlesnake.
