...outfit on the field behind the Business School, beginning at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. The Sabrinas usually send down a strong team, but this year their early season record is not up to standard. Two weeks ago the Tufts eleven overwhelmed the Lord Jeff's 4-0 in contrast to a 2-0 Amherst victory last year. In 1932 Harvard triumphed 2-0, but in the past Amherst has come out on top five times in a row in Cambridge...

Prettily executed and often good for a laugh, Mandoa, Mandoa! may well seem to thoughtful readers a shrewd axe-blow...
...represented a $60,000 shrinkage in income to the University; the average rental figure dropped from $300 to $264, its value before the Houses came into being. Throughout this discussion the prices quoted are those per man. Under the new schedule no rooms were priced higher than $500, in contrast to the previous maximum of $600. The number of accommodations costing $260 and less was increased from...
