Horseplay was featured between the halves. The Dartmouth hand chose to burlesque the huge drum of the Crimson marchers, and wheeled one on the field which must have had to duck to get into the Stadium at all. This cardboard monster and its antics caused the Harvard audience to smile with superiority as it gave birth to five little drums. But when the original was exhibited a few minutes later in the role target for the band's bow and arrow stunt, even the most patriotic had to admit it didn't sound very virlie for such a big fellow...

Artificial Limb Co., which turns out 150 limbs a year. To succeed him the delegates last week chose 50-year-old Clyde Aunger, who at 16 lost a leg in a trolley car accident. In business for himself in San Francisco since 1911, he was taken to Australia during the War to teach his trade. President Aunger's pride is a music box in the calf...
