...compact and mutually loyal little body is the Headmasters' Association of the United States. It meets every winter, often at some college. Last week it forgathered with President John Grier Hibben of Princeton...
Even more than when they were schoolboys, the Old Boys (i. e. graduates) of U. S. private schools wonder what their old-time "Heads," "Doctors," "Prexies" and "Kings" talk about when they get together.

He worked in a mail order firm in Manhattan; went gold prospecting to Honduras; shipped as a common sailor to South American ports; was destitute, "on the beach," for a considerable period in Buenos Aires; played...
...triumph places Rawlins in the final round of the tournament. The victor is one of the best players whom Coach H.L. Cowles has produced in the last few years, and already holds the Metropolitan championship of New York by virtue of a victory over Tevis Huhn, star of the Princeton Club of New York...
