...Senate tariff war came to a complete halt last week. Feeling fatigued and futile, the warriors voted a truce (adjournment) before beginning the long winter campaign (regular session?see p. 12). Only half of the salients mapped during the summer by the House had been fought over by the Senate. And whenever the Senate does finish fighting, the whole war must be refought in House-Senate conferences. Legislative forecasters declared no tariff bill would reach the President until next March?14 months after it was started by the House Ways & Means Committee...

The specs got pretty badly fooled by the weather conditions, good seats in the middle of the field...
...part, but eventually the problem will come up and will demand careful attention. The question as to who will deal with it is an important one. Will the house masters and tutors whose interests are admittedly on the academic side of the new development take time out of their regular duties to try to decide matters athletic? Or will the H. A. A. with its experience and knowledge be allowed to step into house affairs so far as to regulate athletic organization? So far this problem has received relatively little attention, but it is to be hoped that when...
