...Team B squashmen yesterday met and defeated the Class B players of the Lincoln's Inn Society by a score of 3 to 2. All five matches were well played and hard fought, the first, however, showing a marked inconsistency on the part of the players. T. E. Jansen '26 opened his play with G. H. Dubois by winning the first two games easily with the scores 15 to 4 and 15 to 5. Dubois seemed as good as out of the match entirely when, in the third game, he staged a strong come-back which defeated Jansen...

Next year one-third of the Senate comes up for reelection. They are senators who were elected...
Smiling faces, brawny forms in dinner coats were seen in the Della Robbia room of the Vanderbilt Hotel, Manhattan, where an All-American team met for the first time in the history of football. The team was picked, the players invited, the dinner given, by the New York Sun. Sports writers of other papers were surly; they did not like to mention the Sun's dinner for the Sun had stolen a march on them. The dinner and the Sun's choice of players may become a football tradition, they knew, and moaned their vanished opportunity. Meanwhile Oberlander...
