...Wilkin is the only player definitely out of the game, but there are many on the injured list. Bill Brister was not in uniform at all today since he developed a sore hip, and his status is now uncertain. He played a greater part of the Yale game as Frigard's substitute. If he is out of the game George Stangle, a sophomore who has never played varsity football, will take Frigard's place if he needs a substitute...
Many a bright stenographer at the 28th Annual National Business Show in Grand Central Palace, Manhattan, last week, demanded demonstrations of the newest office mechanisms. Polite salesmen responded by giving a performance of the self-feeding typewriter, more like a player piano than a desk machine, with characters for any language except Hebrew and Chinese.

The recipient is selected in the middle of his third year by the Dean...

In the first period, Army scored twice and some of the "townies" who watch Army's home games from trees overlooking Michie Stadium, climbed down and went home. In the second period, Harvard's facile Barry Wood began to throw the passes for which he is more famed than his equally expert tennis, his scholastic rank (top of his class). Crickard caught one of them...
