...blanks, Harvard was favored to repeat at Princeton ten days ago. Again the predictions went awry. Leaving his pitching ace Caldwell, on the bench, Coach Clarke staked his Tigers' chances on left-hander Townsend, and the latter shaded Spalding in a 3 to 2 pitching duel. So now the sport scribes are looking very wise and saying that the team getting the breaks will...

This incident had two results: Lieutenant Guido Gavani challenged Colonel Gusser, commander of the Swiss regiment, to a duel for slurring the fair name of Fascismo.

The Swiss Government uttered its concern and promised an inquiry and punishment for the offenders...
