Despondency was the order of the day at the cage yesterday, with even Ground-keeper Dennis Enwright and Mike, his assistant, gloomy about the condition of the baseball field. The Boston University game on Saturday has become problematical due to the snow storm and only a decided change in the weather will make it possible. Mr. Enwright had succeeded in almost entirely preparing the Freshman and Second team fields and work had been begun on the University field, when the snow storm obliterated their work overnight...
...recent attack on publishers and booksellers by a writer in the New York Herald, on the ground that they handicap true artistic development by insisting on books of about seventy-five thousand words, is partly justified, partly undeserved. For some reason, this particular size must be advantageous to the publisher-either for technical reasons or because the public prefers it and buys it most readily.

Wife-beaters are abhorred, and twins are considered a disgrace to the mother who bears them...
Coach Dempsey has been forced to keep the Freshman squad in the cage all week because the University team has been usurping the Freshman Field. However, if Ground-Keeper Dennis Enwright's predictions come true, the Second Team field will be in good condition Monday and the 1927 players are hoping to begin their outside work then. Coach Dempsey has four more days of practice before his first game than the University team but even at that he will find it no easy task to sort out the best possible combination before that date...
