Coach Hal Ulen has developed a good crop of mermen this year, but as they approach the important part of their schedule, they find that their place in the sun is endangered by some League brethren who have grown prodigiously big. Lacking the services of swimmer Curwen, the Crimson were rebuffed by overgrown Brown, but Saturday night they really take on a full-fledged big fellow in Princeton...
...extra-curricular aspect was a vital part of the original program, and it must be abandoned with regret. But the transcendent importance of the other two features makes this course an economical one. Wisdom to judge the present comes mainly from knowledge of the past; which is to say that Americans can use their institutions more intelligently if they realize how these originated and developed.

John Emery, as Hotspur, has great vitality, but often he palls in tearing his passions to tatters. Morris Ankrum as Henry IV gives a sterling performance throughout, and outstanding in the lighter vein are Gus Schilling, as Bardolph, and John Berry, as Poins...
