...really good reason. Both forward trios could well afford to throw their cautions to the wind and play with a little more abandon. They think of getting back on the defense before they have actually bored in on the opponent's net. It's been this abandoned drive and punch which has carried the Elis along. No one can score, furthermore, if he's carefully covered; this goes just as much in hockey as in basketball. The crimson-jerseyed wings haven't been very successful in breaking cover and as a result haven't tallied too frequently. They'll have...

With the return of Giddens to the lineup next week, the necessary spark and scoring punch may be added. Harvard's Canadian ace has been high scorer of the Crimson squad for two seasons and will expend all efforts in making up for lost time.

...disagreeable bird is the starling. Small, dark, impudent and noisy, its only commendable trait is a fondness for potato bugs. Most dismaying is its inexhaustible enthusiasm for reproduction. Vegetarian more often than insectivorous, starlings strip cherry trees, peck at strawberries, punch holes in lettuce leaves. Their voices are as rough as crows; they fight constantly among themselves. A nuisance already in many a U. S. town, starlings had by last week become a pest in the national capital. Washington citizens wrote letters to the newspapers. It seemed only a matter of days until some starling would visit an indignity upon...
