...also doctors of some sort or other. The college catalogue looks far more impressive when every member of the faculty has two or three magic letters after his name. The result is that a tradition is established, and any man who would obtain a desirable teaching berth must first obtain by hook or crook some sort of fancy degree. This would not be serious if such degrees were always sure hall-marks of a man's scholastic training and ability; but the more wide-spread the idea becomes that no man of science or letters is intellectually respectable unless stamped...
...evening and should push the crippled University quintet hard, for practically every man has had previous experience on the basketball squads of other colleges. Captain E. H. De Hority 1G.B. at forward was captain of the Indiana team in 1921, W. D. Stuart 1G.B., who holds down one guard berth, was given a place on the "All-Southern" basketball team for his playing on the Virginia Military Institute five last winter, while J. T. Semans 1G. at the other guard is also a former V. M. I. player, and H. E. Weaver 1G.B. in the forward berth played for Franklin...

During the first half the Crimson yearlings had a slight advantage in shooting but the Springfield quintet kept them fighting for every point. King in the center berth was especially noticeable during the first session, scoring four baskets from the floor and breaking up the Springfield attack time after time. The visitors, however, had an advantage in speed, somewhat nullified, however, by careless shooting. At no point in the half did either team have an advantage of more than two baskets and when the whistle blew the score stood 20-19 in favor of the Crimson...
...absence of Crosby gave Coach Claflin a chance to thoroughly try out his substitutes and the experiment showed that there is great strength in the second string material. Gratwick ably filled Crosby's berth on the defence and several times left his position to make spectacular dashed through the Melrose secondary line. But the improvement was not confined to the defence substitutes for Larocque and Hill have developed so that they are nearly on a par with the regulars. This means that the University will have five strong men from which to choose their offensive weapons, and so will enable...
