...Haven, Conn., October 21, 1924.--Dry, cold weather which was perfect for football and a two days rest put the Yale varsity in high spirits today. In their first scrimmage since the Dartmouth game of last Saturday they romped through the scrubs three times. Cottle scored over twice and Bench once.

Garvin, Britain's great Liberal journalist, contributes four chapters on world history since 1890, with emphasis,on the 20th Century. Major General Sir Frederick Maurice polishes off the War, tells how it was "fought and won." General Ludendorff informs the reader that Germany never was defeated; which contention, even if it be preposterous, at least gives a point of view that...
