...believe that there has been an increased interest this year in the subject of amateur coaching in American collegiate circles generally, but whether I am correct in this impression or not the matter is certainly one which in the course of the next few years is going to demand considerable attention on the part of Harvard men. It would be well, in view of this fact, to acquire as much information as possible about the practical workings, the advantages, and the drawbacks of the system of amateur coaching as employed in the English universities. The purpose of this article...
This is my last appearance of the current football season and of course I am anxious to let you all have the full benefit of my prognosticating powers. As a matter of fact Mrs. Huey has staked my fortune on the outcome of my predictions today. Maybe you didn't know there was a Mrs. Huey; well strictly speaking you are right; really it is the Misses Huey, which is only an old Chinese way of saying that I like variety.

California will have a tough time with Stanford but the final score will be just about 12 to 7. And the same may be said of the Notre Dame outfit when it runs up against Northwestern. The latter may score...
...course, simple enough to make fun of the cinema magnates for their insistence on backstage and pseudo-collegiate subject matter, but it is totally unfair not to realize that there is much to be said on their side. The filmgoers have demonstrated with some conclusiveness that they want frequent musical numbers in their pictures, yet with equal certainty they have shown that they want the songs to be embedded in the plot with some show of realism. A stage musical comedy can interrupt the story with a song cue and introduce, with no apologies at all, tenors, sopranos and dancing...
