...teaches one to think on one's feet, when all that is necessary is memorizing a few hundred speeches? A few good topics for the diploma-in-hand job-seeking world-conquering graduate of a week's standing to be prepared on is "The Door to Success is Labeled Push" (like the gum machine), "A College Education is a greater Asset than a 50-AcreFarm" (Query, what does the phrase "college education" mean?), "Address of a Toastmaster at a Stage Hand Banquet" (D. C. Please note...
Although the Freshman track team is one of the strongest in recent years, it will face this afternoon at New Haven an Eli yearling team which has enormous strength in every event, and which should, on a basis of past records, push the Crimson to the very utmost. While comparative scores are perhaps more significant in track than in any other sport, it frequently happens that the outcome of a meet cannot be accurately judged by this means. Such is the case today. The Freshmen have encountered only Andover, which defeated them by a score...
Fletcher and Hull, the Freshman entries in both the low and high hurdles, have been consistently showing good form in practice and are expected to come through winners today, Jones, whom Captain Allen of Andover defeated in the 880-yard run by a scant few yards last year, will push his former rival to the limit this afternoon, while de Rham and Murphy are counted on for points in the 100-yard dash.

For a while it looked like a close race between the two, but although the University could push the champions man to man, they could not gather as many bouts from the other teams. During the two days, out of a total of 54 contests which the team took part in, the Navy dropped but nine bouts, and it was this ability to win decisively from every team...
...spite of the informal character of the Business Men's team, it will be able to offer stiff opposition this evening and should push the crippled University quintet hard, for practically every man has had previous experience on the basketball squads of other colleges. Captain E. H. De Hority 1G.B. at forward was captain of the Indiana team in 1921, W. D. Stuart 1G.B., who holds down one guard berth, was given a place on the "All-Southern" basketball team for his playing on the Virginia Military Institute five last winter, while J. T. Semans 1G. at the other guard...
