Leading the Ithacans into the fray is Captain Dick Hardy, Intercollegiate 100 meter champion, who placed third in the IC4A dash because of a poor start, but under any conditions he is vastly superior to anything that Harvard or Dartmouth have to offer. The high hurdles look like a Cornell event except for the competition that Harvard may offer, which will be considerable. Leading the timber-toppers to the start will be Walter Merwin, who won the IC4A title in New York. The other Red and White entries will be Irving and Bennett. However, Harvard has two hurdlers in Johnny...
Previous performances this winter have not been particularly startling for the Crimson forces. At the IC4A meet held last Monday, Harvard came in a poor sixth and Cornell was a strong fifth while Dartmouth trailed the Crimson. However the team totals in this competition are more on a basis of individual performances and are not entirely indicative of team balance. Though Harvard captured the Class A College title at the K of C meet two weeks ago it was unimpressive, and a complete reversal of form is in order if Dartmouth and Cornell are to be staved off.

...bitter cold of Manchuria great things were about to happen this week. Squads of police had searched every house in Changchung and confiscated 3,000 rifles and 150,000 rounds of ammunition. Carloads of grain arrived to be distributed to 30,000 poor families while arrangements were made to house 4,000 homeless free. A guard of 5,000 troops was set round the still incomplete Imperial City. In an open courtyard a few handpicked correspondents saw court dignitaries in dragon gowns and fur hats with jeweled buttons bow low to the ground before a stuffed dummy on a lacquered...
...Group Movement" or "First Century Christian Fellowship" has been that its members are too exclusively preoccupied with well-tailored, socially presentable people. Group members counter by telling how they "changed" (converted) an old Pennsylvania bootlegger called "Bill Pickle"; how in London Group workers live in slum quarters; how a poor little girl was changed, telling her mother that God wanted her to help with the housework...
