...Bezdek eleven recovering from its initial stage fright, launched an attack which held the Crimson helpless for the next two periods; three times in succession the invaders gained possession of the ball deep in their own territory, and with irrestible power by straight line plunges carried it past the goal posts after marches of 70, 92, and 85 yards respectively. Finaly in the last period with the final whistle only seven minutes away, Coach Fisher's men staged their come-back. With a backfield consisting of two quarterbacks, Buell and Johnson, Coburn, a third string guard, and Churchill, fleet...

A school cannot be taught by a town meeting nor an agricultural college effectively...

Harding has said that while he favors approximate disarmament, the United States must not render itself helpless by disarming in advance of other nations. That is the diplomat's view. The supposed attitude of the various peoples is indicated by the feeling in political circles that secrecy is essential to any advance. It looks like a case of one hundred per cent suspicion all around. But surely if there is any real desire in the world for peace and disarmament, the nations will...
