...dances nightly a band of "hostesses." From vaudeville (where they have failed) they come, from little towns that seemed too slow, from little flats that seemed too small. Dancing is no pleasure to them. Dancing is their business. Be it the breath of a drunken sailor that blows warm past their cheeks or the wit of the dullest tomlinson that assails their ears, they must dance and sometimes smile...
...Osborn of the Evening World was low man. He saw 86 plays during the past season, guessed right only four times more than he guessed wrong, expressed no opinion twelve times, scored .453. Just above him was large Percy Hammond of the Herald Tribune, purveyor of false pomp and true drollery, who scored .616.

Although the Yale crew has displayed consistently better form and display-pressive times in their trials during the past week the Harvard stroke has steadily improved throughout the week's practice. The long steady beat of the Crimson crew will be at its best in the four mile grind where the length and extent of the competition tends to favor the slower, more powerful stroke that has been set by the Crimson sweepswingers. The stroke employed by Brown, while at a great disadvantage in the shorter races against Tech, Cornell and Pennsylvania earlier in the season, will unquestionably show...
