...take part in the Penn. Relay Carnival, and Johnny Mack, the Eli coach, fears that he will not regain sufficient physical form this year to be counted on as a point winner. During his freshman year, Reed, who came to Yale from Mercersberg as a preparatory school record breaker, reeled off a mile in 4 minutes and 23 seconds. Schleiter, who won Yale's 100 and 220-yard dashes in the last meet held, pulled a tendon last week, and his return to form is exceedingly doubtful...
...most directly beneficial service in a particular case is in the Juvenile Court work. If a boy on trial for some minor offense is sent to a penitentiary where the influences are not uplifting, the changes are that he will be hardened into an incurable law-breaker. But, on the other hand, if he can be turned over to an intelligent man, sufficiently older than himself to demand respect, and near enough his own age to have mutual understanding, the chances are that he may be straightened out. The college man finds the boy occupation, talks to him sensibly...
...called a man of war; yet he stopped the bloodiest war of history, the Russian-Japanese war, which threatened two great nations with destruction and drew into the quarrel many others. There was not any precedence for interfering, but the result justified the act. Roosevelt was not a breaker of precedence but a maker of precedence.

Valentine succeeds in having himself believed an entirely different person when he is called upon to use his ability as a safe-breaker to release a child from the bank vault. This he does in a very intense scene, thus disclosing his identify. His enemy, however, wilfully allows him to escape the one touch of unadulterated melodrama in the play and the final curtain sees Valentine and his sweet-heart happy again...
...running from scratch, broke the University two-mile record, made by H. Jaques, Jr., '11, in the dual meet with Yale at New Haven in 1909, by 12 1-5 seconds, his time for the distance being 9 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds. T. Cable '13, the other record breaker, threw the 16-pound hammer 150 feet, 7 8-10 inches. This was 13 3-10 inches better than the record of 149 feet, 6 1-2 inches, established by H. E. Kersberg '07 in the intercollegiate games in Cambridge in 1907. Both Withington and Cable will receive gold record...
