...should like to call the attention of members of the University to certain facts in regard to the continuance of German propaganda in this country. During actual hostilities most of us were keenly alive to the menace of German agents in America, but now that the armistice has been signed and the Imperial Government overthrown, we are prone to think that Boche propaganda is a thing of the past--which is not true by any means...

Bolshevism will...
...concerned, there can be no decision as to championship or first place. But the effect on the smaller institutions is very questionable. The desire of many of these, when they get on the schedule of a big team, is to strive to win that particular game because of a certain prestige which victory will assure them. Certainly the development of such a team is not normal. Moreover, the temptation has been too powerful to be overcome, and strong players have been enticed to small institutions by means which would not bear publication. It is to the credit of American college...
