Joslin scored three more tries, one on a 75-yd. run, and Damis one more, and they were joined in the scoring column by Joe Conzelman, Tom Fritz, and Ron Eikenberry. Scrum-half Alan Waddell played his usual outstanding game, and the forwards kept control of the ball for the Crimson for almost the whole match...
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., March 28--Yale's powerful swimming team received a slight jolt in the first event of the 34th NCAA Championships here last night. Michigan's Fritz Myers pulled even with the Elis' Ray Ellison at the three-quarters mark in the 1500-meter freestyle, then stroked on to upset the Eastern champion in 19:04.8. This ties the Tar Heel Pool record set in 1949 by N. Heusner of North-western...
Eluding South Sea cannibals who are bent on turning brats into Bratwurst, roly-poly Hans and Fritz last week reacted with their usual aplomb.

A year later, the Journal dragooned 19-year-old Staff Artist Dirks into composing a cartoon based on German Artist Wilhelm Busch's venerable Max und Moritz drawings...
...Kidless year in court, the Journal won all rights to the Katzenjammer Kids title and hired the late Harold (Dinglehoofer und His Dog) Knerr to draw the strip. Dirks took the Katzies, as he calls them, to the World and started a new comic strip called Hans and Fritz. To appease anti-German sentiment in World War I, he changed the name to The Captain and the Kids (Knerr, who rechristened his wards The Shenanigan Kids for the duration, even had the kids go to court to swear that they hailed from The Netherlands...
