...arena to house an enclosed rink. The plan did not develop in time to build a rink for use during last season. Active agitation for a rink has been carried on in the meantime however, by a group of Dartmouth alumni interested in hockey.

The native African, says he, is a "banana engine" making the roads of a continent at the expense of his life. He may work a month on banana fuel, then find himself owing eleven francs because of huge taxes. Other Londres observations: 1) in French Africa a white man who strikes a black gets fined...
