S. ever recognizes the Cantonese Government, recently extended by the conquests of Chang Kai-shek to include most of central...
...Freshman football team journeys to Exeter today to meet the schoolboys in the second game of the 1930 season. Stung by a 6 to 0 defeat at the hands of Andover last week, the Freshmen are intent on avenging on Exeter the doings of its rival.
