Things do not look so good for the University matmen. M. I. T. is fresh from her 19-8 victory over Tufts, a contact in which she gained two falls and three decisions. Harris the 145-pound Technology star is a threat which only Lifrak injured star of the Columbia meet, could ward off. The rugged little grappler is disabled with a strained shoulder muscle which puts him on the shelf tonight...

Mr. Tarkington has written books of more uniform merit...
...tasks in which he takes no interest may stultify his mind and fret his character." This attitude is a revival of humanism and is a ray of light in a welter of academicians whose pedagogical zeal has overruled their sanity.
