...Cambridge in recent years ran through a snappy signal drill on the Stadium turf late yesterday afternoon. This team which will represent Purdue against the University this afternoon at 3 o'clock will go into today's game outweighed by almost 14 pounds to the man. What they lack in weight the Westerners will attempt to make up in speed and accurate handling of the ball. Few plays, according to information gathered in the Boilermaker's camp yesterday afternoon, are likely to be directed at the Crimson guards this afternoon. Off tackle slants, and sweeps, and a deadly forward pass...
...Tammany graft and Governor Smith as the leader of Tammany, who had allowed "the Red Light District to crawl to the very steps of the State Capital." His charges were almost wholly unfounded, but that is to be expected in any political utterance of the kind. Its relative lack of truth was not what caused Republican leaders hastily to wipe their hands of the whole affair...
...Socialists (with three Peasant parties, two Labor parties and a Communist party) considerably outnumber the Pilsudski forces. They introduced a number of motions forbidden by Dictator Pilsudski, chief of which was a motion of lack of confidence in him. Had they succeeded in winning the motion, it would doubtless have done them no good; for Dictators have an irritating habit of putting themselves above the law. Still, it would have done Pilsudski small good had he been forced to ride roughshod over their veto. To avoid all such unpleasantness, he issued a decree closing the Sejm...

His lack of authority is such that one marvels how the Sphere, a responsible publication, if a periodical de luxe, has found space for this scurrilous travesty of a country whose dynasty is closely related to that of Great Britain, whose governments, even during the most trying period of the Great War, behaved loyally and nobly to your nation, whose people are as sincerely attached to yours as any on earth...
...study in the training school is Mr. Holmes's judgement. This is certainly the reverse of a liberal education. In fact it is no direct release from the musty problem of unity between preparatory school and college. Mr. Holmes destroys his own plan when he expresses the college's lack of confidence in elementary training by requiring the freshman to study English composition, a course which has been demanded of him from the day he learned to read. It is ridiculous to expect the high school to reach such a polity that it could train a high school student...
