First, by looking at the comparative scores of the nine previous Triangular meets, an idea may be obtained of the progress which the Crimson track team has made in the last three years. The origin of the classic goes back to the year 1917, when the University runners trailed the Hanoverian spikemen while Penn State, at that time the third party in the meet, made a miserable showing, accumulating only 11 1-2 points.

Pool '28, captain of the University squash team, yesterday bowed to the greater experience and steadiness of H.N. Rawlins '27, leader of last year's championship aggregation.

Such progress is now held virtually at a standstill by the War Dragon. With each successive year since the fall of the Empire, China has weltered ever deeper in the morass of civil war. To-day three principal "War Lords" (see below) and their countless satellite "Generals" claim to rule China, but are merely raping her resources for themselves...

He has seen the advent of rigid examination for Freshmen and all athletes, and a tendency of the University to provide the means of correction. As a builder of a vigilance that will be permanent Doctor Bailey has well-earned the gratitude of Harvard...
