People are growing weary of these annual, bitter bickerings. When international track-meets, horse races, and debates have by good-sportsmanship only confirmed Anglo-American harmony, one may begin to wonder if the two countries had not better disown their pugnacious fishermen. The races were instituted to develope a more efficient commercial schooner, not an eggshell yacht. When each race becomes a question of the validity of measurements before trustees of the international trophy, it no longer stands as a test of the best schooner in North American waters.

...Significance. Quezon and Osmena with their Collectivist Party practically control Philippine politics. They have carried on a bitter attack on the Governor for political reasons.

Dartmouth had a team which excelled in every department of the game--as clean and hard-fighting an eleven as has been seen in the Stadium for years. Coming to Cambridge practically unheralded it can take its place among the great teams of the last years, ranking with them in speed of offense and impregnability of defense. Dartmouth had the better team and Dartmouth deserved...
