...track team took part in ten indoor meets, the most important of which were the Coast Artillery games on January 27, the B. A. A. meet on February 3, the contest between the University, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth the 17th, the Naval Militia games on the 21st, the Johns Hopkins carnival the 24th, the I. C. A. A. A.

Universal military service is still a dream of the future. In the meantime, the crying need of America is reform in the army organization. Although we Federalize the militia and double the attendance at the summer military camps, the regular army must always remain our first line of defence.

The Holy Cross four will probably be the same as that which defeated the B. A. A. team in the meet in Mechanics Building on February 13. The University team will consist of H. W. Minot '17, E. F. Rowse '18, W. Willcox, Jr., '17, and E. A. Teschner...
