...their first three matches, Cornell was battered by Lehigh 28-5, by Navy 26-9, and by Michigan 19-8. The three powerhouses lead off a back-breaking slate of 19 dual matches scheduled by an apparently power-drunk Cornell athletic department. The Redmen will have to wrestle Brown on the day before they meet Harvard. In addition, the Cornell squad was weakened by graduation, forcing them to start four sophomores...

...rebels, drunk and high on hemp, chose their victims for the night. Jean de Gotte, Belgian honorary consul in Paulis, watched in horror: "The first dozen were bound, hands and feet tied together behind their backs-trussed like chickens. They were taken outside and dumped on the sidewalk. Five white fathers were stripped of their cassocks and their beards were cut off. Mr. Tucker was first. They hit him across the face with a beer bottle and blinded him. Then they beat him slowly, down the spine, with rifle butts and sticks. Every time he squirmed they...
