...Barbee '28, veteran moundsman who has been out of action since the Pennsylvania game on May 19, will see duty today. He was forced to leave that contest because of a rheumatic back and has been nursing it ever since. The rainy weather has hindered a more rapid recovery. With Barbee's return, the Harvard squad is now intact, as R. C. Sullivan '28 resumed his shortstop berth in the clash with Rhode Island State Thursday. G. E. Donaghy '29, now that Sullivan seems fit for service during the remainder of the season, will continue to cover the hot corner...
...eating its way into their bones. Last month the case was presented before the Court of Chancery* to obtain a ruling on whether the statute applies to a disease which did not manifest itself until years after its inception.

Not but what Adelaide Hall, with her hoarse, high voice, and an energetic chorus make Blackbirds, despite dull moments, the best coon show...
...Interborough Rapid Transit Co. (one of New York's two subway systems) contracted with the City of New York in 1913 to give rides-for-a-nickel until 1968, when the line reverts to the city. After 15 years of experience, the I. R. T. has concluded that rides-for-a-nickel are economically obsolete. Last winter the I. R. T. asked the State authorities to authorize a 7-cent fare. Refused, the I. R. T. sought a Federal court order restraining New York City and State from preventing the collection of 7-cent fares, on the ground that...
