...Presidency of the Republic, nominated by the Mexican people, to pretend to stain my name. There is more yet. Treacherously and cowardly they have threatened to take my life. What less than that, they start with trying to take away my honor, which I always tried to keep clean and pure. They are trying to prevent a breakdown in the Treasury, but the whole nation knows that for three years I have known how to attend to the necessities of the Administration. . . . The presentation of his [Pani's] libelous statement has the object of covering incompetence to solve...
Only two big eastern teams have held their opponents scoreless in all of the first three games of the season: Dartmouth, which meets the Crimson in the Stadium today, and Boston College, which faces Marquette at Braves Field. Two western teams, Chicago and California, have also preserved clean slates, while Yale, winning all its games, has piled up the greatest number of points, 122 to its opponents' 14. Four other eastern teams, Cornell, Harvard, Middlebury, and Tufts, and two middle western elevens, Notre Dame and Centre, are still undefeated. The detailed results of play so far this season...

Letters to a friend -to a mistress-sharp, vivid, merry, little incidents-characterizations of people, of places as clean and telling as if they were cut on a copper plate-a startling potpourri of wit, vigor, irony, tragedy, acute observation - self-portrait of Marichaud himself that ranks among the few convincing descriptions of genius in recent fiction-all these jostle each other with all the inconsecutiveness of life itself...
...University squad will begin its preparation for the Harvard-Dartmouth-Maine triangular meet here next Friday, when it jogs over the river course this afternoon. So far, the Crimson men have kept their slate clean, but it is probable that both Dartmouth and Maine will present stiffer opposition than did Middlebury or Bowdoin. Captain Coburn, who has been out of both races because of an injured leg, will probably be able to run this week...
