Altogether the game was one long continuation of the good taste left by Harvard's last-minute pay-off against Dartmouth. During the second quarter, with the score 7-7, the good taste was a little too fluffy for mouth comfort, but the third and fourth cantos dispelled all trace of gloom. In the first period it took exactly five minutes for the Crimson to march 75 yards for the first score. On the first play, wingback Torby Macdonald broke through the weak side of the Tiger line for 16 yards, three plays later he romped 30 yards...
Holdup. At Shanghai this week as the U. S. Dollar Line's 22,000-ton President Coolidge prepared to pull out of the Yangtze mouth, Shanghai customs officials, acting on orders from Japanese military authorities, suddenly suspended the vessel's clearance papers.

Sample issues raised: capitalism, communism, divorce, free trade, race toleration. Students who favored maintaining the status quo were rated "conservative," those who favored moderate changes were "liberal," extremists were "reactionary" or "radical." Last week...

Even now, although it seems to have been accepted as a permanent institution, the Plan lives a hand-to-mouth existence, receiving its yearly appropriation only as the gods of fortune smile upon it. Better by far would be definite provision for this important department--if possible, a fund, such as that supporting the Bursary Plan of Yale, by whose income it could be maintained...
...portion of the tax decreasing 10 per cent annually. The occasion of this agreement was the acquisition by the University of large pieces of land for the new Houses, and it is to run until 1948. In City Hall yesterday Councilman Toomey was seen running around, cigar in mouth and a copy of the 1928 agreement he completely disregarded in the resolution in his hand...
