They lack, of course, the noisy gaiety and informality of college dances, but more than redeem the loss in color and tradition. At least the numerous fair visitors never complain of the lack of life in the parties. After all, nothing can compare with Cullom balcony under a full summer moon, dotted with quiet couples--splendidly gowned women and cadets in white starched uniforms--caught in the spell of dreamy music and the Hudson sweeping...

Long-legged Arnold Ronnebeck of the Denver Times was even more enthusiastic. Added Sumner Spaulding, architect of Pomona...
...zeal was the cause of the errors, the game resembled a sandlot final rather than a world championship; only the presence of the President of the U.
