S., however, when Manuel Quezon and Antonio de los Alas (who is acting as Speaker of the House, in Roxas' absence) agreed with General Wood on the appointment of officers to the National Coal Co.

We find many of our new doctrines; some, in fact of our newest, such...
...direct comparison of the Harvard and Yale elevens throughout their seasons to date shows unmistakably that the Bulldog team has played the better football all along, although going through a tougher list of opponents, and has shown a remarkable scoring power which has netted the Blue over 200 points. The Harvard season, on the other hand, has been marked by a distinct lack of any offensive power.
