...million votes in 1912 and again in 1920, his last two campaigns.* But Mr. Berger is not likely to run. Doubtless Poet Henley's "Invictus"? is one of his favorite poems as it was Mr. Deb's. But Mr. Berger is a practical captain of his soul, an editor, an essayist, a politician but not a crusader. He refused to cruise abroad on Henry Ford's "Peace Ship." He opposes the League of Nations. He was content in 1924 to see the Socialist Party merge its energies with the energies of the Farmer-Laborites, the American Federation of Labor...

...pachyderms on the line average 192, behind the line 180. This gargantuan group galloped gravely through Army 10-6, despite the sinewy protests of the most seasoned backfield outside of professional football, Captain Harry Wilson (Penn State) Cagle (Louisiana), Murrell (Minnesota). Just in time did Charles D. Curran, an editor of The Pointer, West Point journal, apologize through the Yale Daily News for an inadvertent, faintly insulting bit of optimism in The Pointer.
