...treachery, for cold feet. By making ridiculous agrarian land promises to the Russian peasantry, Lenine and Trotzky have been able to cripple Russia in war activity. They have not made peace yet. They shall find a potentiality in that mass of people, who still have political uneasiness and stage-fright, which can overthrow their machinations. If the Bolsheviki leaders are to be decorated with some order, let us present them with thirty pieces of silver. Let not they who would stoop to anything wear a badge which has been the badge of honorable attainment. If the Nobel committee at Stockholm...
Inspection day bears as dark terrors to the mind of the brave soldier as the first day of school does to the conventially unconventional bad little boy Last week, overcome by the agony of being looked at, one man in an unnamed company fell over, presumably from stage-fright or weakness of the knees, although the later diagnosis was unpatriotic German measles.

The attack of the light backfield was fairly good, while the forward passing game was played to more advantage than by any other team to date. The use of this latter phase of the game gave the team...
...said that the eleven did not play up to standard. Two of the regulars were injured and had to be withdrawn from the contest; without them the men neglected all team-work and gave a good illustration of the disconcerted attack of an eleven in the throes of stage-fright. Splawn injured his elbow badly in the game and all of the men were badly battered...
