...seems to mind except the unfortunate Mrs. Rodney. However, when Janet brings an affinity, Claudia Kitts, to live and work with her as a measure of self-defense and retaliation, Geoffrey introduces Edgar Fuller, who comes from Ohio or Oregon or somewhere to study elocution. The resulting mix-up, due entirely to the super-sensitiveness of the high strung, emotional people involved, is very amusing, and the whole plot is worked out in the cleverest style imaginable.

This same line-up started the second session. The University sextet, playing in this order, seemed to have an amount of strength which was not present in the regular line-up, However, near the middle of the period, Geran, taking a pass from McCarthy in a mix-up in front of the Crimson goal, shoved the puck into the net.

And so the applicant "drops around" only to find that the one in charge is not there. Irregular office hours and "passing the buck" seem to be the law of the room assigners. Surely something can be done to insure the student against such unfair treatment and to bring about co-operation among...

...repeated the trick. Half a minute from the close of the period Baker caught a pass from behind the cage for Number Six. With the return of the first line in the third period the University offense was maintained with renewed vigor. Bacon registered a clever score from a mix-up in front of the goal.
