...five new records. At 200 mi. only one of the standard cars, high rated for stamina, was among the first ten. In the last half they came up, finished third (Studebaker), fifth (Hupmobile) and sixth (Studebaker). But already down Indianapolis' 2½ mile-long brick oval, in the dust, heat, bedlam and gasoline fumes, a businesslike little car, fat in the middle, had buzzed busily past the finish line in the record time of 4 hr. 48 min. 3.79 sec., driven by Fred Frame, built by Harry Hartz and Harry A.

Several times the swordsmen slid on the uncertain footing and went sprawling over their opponents. National contests will be held in New York in the near future, but no members of the University six plan to enter...
...apple turns to ashes on his palate, when the burden and the mystery prey on his spirit. He turns from the shallow comfort of the penny-a-liners to the mordant voice of Housman. Like Archduke's cousin, he sees the symbol of it all in a handfull of dust. Like Swift, he celebrates his birthday as a time of mourning, and all neighbors join in. Life is a poor thing, bitter and mocking and the phrase of Solon runs in his mind...
