Yellow Flag. Hottest criticism of the speech from the Throne came from sallow, fiery Laborite left winger James Maxton, M.P. He flayed the speech as not Socialist, accused Scot MacDonald of "running up the yellow flag of Liberalism."

Dartmouth and Harvard are making efforts to abolish the football scout. Espionage will give way to the slow motion picture. There are many material benefits to be gained from this plan. Expense will be eliminated, time will be saved, and error will be reduced. Intersectional games have made scouting an expensive luxury.

If the verdict of comprehensive slow motion pictures were accepted, not one, but many, uncalled fouls would be revealed in every hard-fought game. The scores of every important football game in history would have to be revised. The decision...
