...operate the mills, the managers scoured the East Tennessee mountain country for strikebreakers whom they drove to the plants in busses and trucks under armed guards. The strikers, many of them also back-countrymen, attempted to block the highways, break up the convoys. Trees were felled across the road. In one case a "loyal worker" injured three strikers when ordered by Guardsmen to drive his car full tilt through a blockading group. Adjutant General W. C. Boyd in charge of militia at Elizabethton was arrested on a charge of "aiding and abetting an attempt to commit murder," preferred...
...matter of the British plan there was no tradition to buck. Oxford and Cambridge have concentrated their athletic relations to dual meets with each-other even since the inception of varsity athletics at the two universities. In the matter of the proposed Harvard plan there would be the necessary break-down of nearly a century of tradition. The Dartmouth and Holy Cross games have become a tradition strongly entrenched in the minds of Harvard men. And aside from the local tradition, there is the doubly strong national feeling for intercollegiate sport. National sentiment is strong not only for intercollegiate sport...

Since then, Friday has been observed again but the conflict on this day with so many activities as well as the fact than it was the anticlimax, coming the day after Commencement, caused the change...
...breaking of athletic relations between major universities is slowly coming to be a fetish. They become more macabre when viewed in the light of the apparently minor incidents on which they are invariably based. Beneath all this past exchange of blows, Harvard plays Princeton on the Yale golf course today. A natural corollary might be a meeting of Harvard and Princeton undergraduates on Yale soil to bury the hatchet. The suggestion is not new. It was proferred by the Yale Student Council at the time of the break. It might still succeed on one condition: that it be an undergraduate...
