...commercializing of athletics, which it is here used to defend. In "The Poet who Dies Young," Van Wyck Brooks makes a plea against materialism. Compared with Mr. Brook's writing of last year, this retains the valuable part of his subtlety and delicacy of expression, and shows a desirable gain in clearness of outline and definition of thought, even if the style is not yet quite natural. J. L. Warren's the Crush" is somewhat conventional; F. Schenck's "The Pall of the Wild" is cleverly named, and, like R. M. Arkush's "Sleep Fifteen Minutes after Luncheon," strikes...
...that the University team resorted mainly to the old style game, but was unable to break through the Brown line for the required ten yards. Brown tried many end runs with Dennie or Mayhew carrying the ball, but except for the latter's long runs, they were unable to gain consistently.

...University eleven played the second team in a discouraging scrimmage yesterday afternoon, the former scoring one touchdown. The playing was very loose and crude for this time of the year, and the first team was unable to gain through the second as it should. There was a great falling off in forward passing. This play was worked with considerable success a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday three of Burr's long passes hit the ground without being caught. As a result the University team lost 45 yards in penalties for that play alone. Punts were exchanged frequently on account...
