...Freshman soccer team yesterday afternoon. Vogel is a graduate of Hotchkiss School. He will lead his team from the center forward position against Tabor Academy on Saturday. This promises to be a hard fought contest, inasmuch as Tabor is bringing every bit as strong an aggregation as that which beat the fast Freshman team of last year 2-0. Although playing forward this year, Vogel gained his experience as half back for two years on the town team of Lausanne, Switzerland...

I also suggested that Cornell couldn't beat Geneva by more than six points. This is just to indicate to my now readers how good I am My old readers need not be told. And you all will know later that Joe Forecast is the same old Joe. I almost accepted a very...
