...University basketball five won from the Massachusetts Agricultural College team last night by a 33-20 count. In spite of the tight five-man-defence which the Aggies offered, the Crimson managed to break through repeatedly or, when unguarded, tally on long, mid-floor shots.

But experience testifies that a subsidy has never accomplished its purpose--except in England, where it was employed solely to encourage the building of large, fast vessels, such as the Olympic, which would be of use as naval auxiliaries in time of war. Most often it results in the loss of efficiency and initiative on the part of ship owners and captains; it thus begets the need for a larger subsidy, until finally the entire operating...
