...most extortionate proposal that has ever been made upon the nation's revenues"-these would be harsh words from any man. From President Coolidge, who applied them last week to the Flood Control bill which had been passed by the Senate and was pending before the House, they sounded almost savage. President Coolidge added that the provisions of the bill would enrich great railroad and lumber companies besides impoverishing the national Treasury.

The Crimson twirler kept the opposing batters well under control, except for a brief lapse in the eighth, when a single and two walks filled the bases. J. P. Chase '28 mishandled a grounder and let Westcott trot across the plate to score Maine's lone tally...
