...Haven, Conn., January 27, 1913.--The crew management of the University has arranged a triangular race to be rowed with Cornell and Princeton over a two-mile course at Ithaca, May 23. Eighty men from the classes of 1917S. and 1916 reported at the first meeting of the Freshman crew candidates on Monday. Captain Denegre introduced Mr. Richard Armstrong, the new supervisor of rowing, who spoke on what was expected of the Freshmen. The average weight of the men who reported is 159 pounds, and the average height 5 feet, 10 1-2 inches...

A night train took Mr. Mears to Berlin from where he started for St. Petersburg. At each of the capitals he visited the United States diplomatic...
...Jackson does not have to follow Mr. Wood across the Pacific; he finds all the thrill he wants no further west than Coyotte Falls. There is a real Injun there, a survivor of the old literary race fast disappearing--a bad Injun who says "How" and knows the ghost dance song and has a great grey eagle to preside over his passing. Only there is no damsel this time...
