...Herrington. The girl an ingenue, well played by Miss Mayo Methot, has been taken under the wing of the proprietress, while the quondam hobo who saved the former and has since fellen in love with her, has found a job and sufficient prospects for an early marriage. Enter the deacon with as smooth a piety as his legerdemain at cards. The audience, as the action proceeds to draw forth an unquestionably real and homely set of characters, is at a loss to know what to expect--melodrama, provincial comedy, middle Western still life, or a subtle dramatic tangle.

But two weeks before in the dual meet with Princeton he cleared 6 feet 3 inches, equalling the meet record. Jones is Harvard's leading entry. Against Princeton he jumped 5 feet 8 3-4 inches, which is about his average height...
...Norton, Deacon, and Comins of Yale should clean up in the broad jump. Norton became Intercollegiate champion this year in place of his teammate, Comins, who won the classic a year ago. All three can leap at least 23 feet...
