...Grand Jury of Norfolk County returned indictments charging the two men with the murder of Allesando Beradelli and Frederick A. Parmenter. The Supreme Judicial Court has heard pleas and has denied them. Still other motions for a new trial were made in the present year, based on the ground of newly discovered evidence--these motions supported by the affidavit of a condemned murderer named Madeiros. The motions have in their turn been denied by Judge Thayer in the Superior Court. In denying them, Judge Thayer has gone over the whole ground very thoroughly and voluminously, omitting no question or point...
Agreeing that present conditions are neither normal nor beneficial, President Lowell wisely suggests that whoever undertakes a plan for improvement do so with both feet on the ground of common sense.

...crimson-jerseyed warriors out-played their younger opponents in every department of the game. The 1930 line charged hard and effectively, and the backs, shifty and fast, eluded the schoolboy tackles to reap big gains. Particularly effective in gaining ground for the Freshmen was a forward pass, thrown from a take end run formation. The Crimson passing game was fairly smooth, about half of the attempted heaves being completed...
