Rising from its ashes, the Advocate phoenix has managed to get aloft, though it still has to learn to straighton up and fly right. While the poetry is consistently excellent, the four stories do not all show professional skill, but all provocatively give promise of better work.

...Johnson have all proved their qualifications for the pole-vault, with Harwood up around 13 feet 6 inches, Lawrence and Torrey pushing 13 feet, and Johnson capable of 11 feet. Pete Garland and Gene Harrigan will take care of the high-jumping chores. Both have done six feet. Dave Read, who has been hobbling around on crutches since the eve of the Yale meet, will be ready for action by April first and his return will case the responsibility of Harvey Thayer. Read will also help out Captain Wes Flint in the 110-yard high and 220-yard low hurdles...
