...University and Freshman crews were given a stiff workout in the tank yesterday. Coach Haines paid special attention to the work of the individual men, emphasizing the importance of a strong catch and a hard drive with the legs. University A, in its workout in the tank, rowed together very well for this time of the season, and J. M. Franklin '18 at 4 appears to fit well in his new position. Coach Haines also gave the first Freshman boat a good 15-minutes in the tank. The men were chiefly coached in the rudiments, and Coach Haines carefully watched...
...wrestling team ventures into new fields. It visits the home of Grand Opera en masse, not to witness the amorous advances of Carmen and Don Jose, nor the combat of Siegfried and the Dragon, but to admire the calisthenic achievements of Professor Anderson in the manly art of catch-as-catch-can. This expedition augurs well for the whole future of wrestling. It marks a new rapprochement between the professional and the academic sides of the sport. Hereafter these descendents of the gladiators need no longer confine themselves to contests of their own confreres. The bars of precedent have been...
...have been reporting daily for crew practice on the machines, and the voluntary rowing during the examination period, which was instituted for the first time this year, has met with success. A registering device has been fixed on two of the machines which shows a light at the catch and the finish of each stroke so that Coach Haines may better be able to watch the timing of the strokes. It is planned to put them on every machine as soon as possible if they prove as useful as it is hoped...
...defence or to ward off invasion, but in the secret interest of powerful and unscrupulous commercial, manufacturing and financial combinations, who, for their own selfish purposes, play upon the public's sense of fear, patriotism or national pride. "National honor" and "manifest destiny" represent hackneyed--though, alas, still potent--catch-words employed in this connection. What assurance has the American people that a vast and efficient military establishment will not constitute such a source of temptation to our imperialistic interests as inevitably to be used for purposes of foreign exploitation? We have, since the Spanish-American War, embarked...
Shortly after the kick-off in the third period, the Cadets recovered a fumble on the Battery's 20-yard line. The artillerymen held their opponents for downs but the subsequent punt was a short one and Ross, of the Cadets, made a fair catch on the 40-yard line. R. G. Hadley '20, who was at right tackle for the Cadets, tried for a goal from the field but missed, the ball hitting Sands, the Battery quarterback. Cannon, who played end for the Cadets, fell on the ball on the five-yard line, and Snow went over...
