...last week appeared, in some 600 newspapers throughout the U. S., a caricatured robot brutally plucking a harp over which hung a weeping muse (presumably Euterpe) and beside which sat a howling hound. The caption was: "The robot as an entertainer-Is the substitution for real music a success?" The advertising "story" appended was the American Federation of Musicians' complaint against substituting mechanically synchronized music for orchestras in theatres...
Pension Expert is a very real title to Mr. Sayre. Seven years after leaving Harvard in 1898, he was Pension Expert of the Carnegie Foundation. Now he is pension adviser to the U. S.

The play wasn't as a rule very effective against Dartmouth but it affords a contrast to the usual straight run and might be a real weapon if used at less frequent intervals. With Booth at quarterback, however, the chief ground gaining plays found him doing the carrying behind a devastating line drive. Time and again he would fake the crossbuck and then turning ahead march through large openings in the Dartmouth forward wall before meeting the slightly flatfooted...
