...Professor Mearns's jingle about the little man who wasn't there: "He wasn't there again today: Oh, how I wish he'd go away." Ordinarily irritated at reporters' prodding about the third term, generally inviting them to go stand in the corner, put on the dunce cap, or merely rewarding them with a testy glance if they so much as asked about it, President Roosevelt last week was jovial too.

...port. Equally plain was it that, if Russia permitted the ship to remain in port, she violated international law, that if she released it to her U. S. owner (as the U. S., after a Supreme Court decision, eventually released the Appam), she would antagonize Germany. While Germany had put Russia on the spot, as she had put the U.

Edwin Pettet heads the cast as Adam and carries the show, backed by a large and lusty supporting cast. It is noteworthy that with such an ambitious script and hefty cast, the production clicks.

...three Crimson casuals, Captain Torbie Macdonald and Mose Hallett, will be ready for limited play against the Tigers on Saturday. Macdonald will probably be used as a spot runner to put more punch in the attack at crucial moments. The third injured man, Joe Koufman, is definitely lost for the Princeton tilt with a leg bump received against the Indians.
