...American Legion is not making itself popular by the stand several of its posts have taken against the appearance of Fritz Kreisler, the Austrian violinist.

...half lap races on the board track. Crim is showing up well this winter, though he is not as good on the boards as on the cinders. Another likely candidate for this team is Bartsch, a 220 man who has shown promise for the last two years, while Fritz Shiverick, the football captain, may also win a place. Shiverick has only been out for a short time, but he is doing good work in the short dashes and looks like one of the most dependable sprinters in Moakley's collection...
