The Office of Censorship has even made a "special request" that the press services submit all stories about Alaskan military...
Crimson baseball fans will get their first peek at the Varsity in action this afternoon at 4 o'clock when the team meets Northeastern on Soldiers Field. It will be the first home start for the nine as its earlier scheduled meeting with B. U. was washed out two weeks...
