...worked out, but perhaps a trifle inconsistently. "New Opportunity in Old Lands," urging Harvard men to reap the harvests in Europe after the war, is deserving of praise, though the matter is bromidic. Mr. Cowley's comments on McFee's "Casuals of the Sea" are keen and to the point; he seems to have a grasp of the essentials of a good review...
Professor R. M. Johnston, speaking before the International Polity Club last evening, spoke on the military situation in the United States from a purely technical point of view. He showed that one of our greatest problems was that of concentrating effective bodies of troops in a short space of time. At present the transportation facilities of our railroads are entirely inadequate for such an emergency. In regard to the Chamberlain Bill he said that it provided for an enormous mass of semi-trained men without an adequate force of officers to properly direct the unmanageable numbers. It would be axactly...
...this point of view, it appears from the communication of John Jay Chapman printed elsewhere, is wholly false and deceptive.

Indications at Brown point to one of the best track teams of recent years. The squad now numbers 140 men, and Coach Hahn expects to uncover some excellent new material, J. M. Williams is considered one of the most promising of the short distance men. Anna, one of the football team, also has shown pronounced ability. He is at present performing well in the pole vault and promises to be one of the best of the broad jumpers. Both of these men are of the first-year class. Other freshmen who are expected to prove of value are Palmer, Crouch...
...Hills and Cushman. Comey, a substitute last season, is playing a strong game in the place at coverpoint left vacant by the graduation last year of Captain Peacock. Princeton has a brilliant centre pair in Captain Schoen and Humphreys, and a forward line that works well together. Scully at point is a veteran player; Comey has proved his ability this year, and Ford is among the best of collegiate goal tenders. In the defensive department, however, Princeton is not as strong as the University. The Tigers have developed the same type of offensive hockey that the Crimson plays, depending...
