...only four letter men are back this year: Captain Owen, C. W. Baker '22, Donald Angier '22, and J. M. Martin '22. Of these, Captain Owen played coverpoint, Baker played right wing, while Angier and Martin were substitute forwards. Besides these four, W. J. Banes '22, W. D. Burden '22, H. F. Colt '22, J. H. Dempsey '23, J. G. Flint '23, Mitchell Gratwick '22, R. R. Higgins '22, Joseph Larocque Jr. '23, and R. E. Smith '22 have had experience on the squad and will furnish material for the sextet. From last year's Freshman team, Nelson Cabot, Captain...

Farmers and other producers of raw materials have already been forced to suffer a marked reduction in the prices of their products, which prices are costs of production to the secondary industries...
