There are, however, a number of good men who will be called on to carry the brunt of the Andover onslaught. First is Bob Gammons in the dash who has bested the endeavors of two Varsity runners in the Handicap Meet when all men were running from scratch.

...Stanley Baldwin had strewed a few autumn leaves of noncommittal oratory, proceedings opened with this double-barreled deadlock: 1) Japanese Chief Delegate Admiral Osami Nagano ultimatumed that nothing else was to be discussed until naval parity was conceded to Japan.

The same holds true for Adzigian. Harlow's main worry is to keep the squad in shape for the Yale game, and to avoid any further injuries in practice work...
