...course these are exceptional cases, but it is also true that the temptation to dispose of an extra seat at a large profit is always present, and that some persons who have received tickets are proving unable to resist it. This selling of special privileges to outsiders while hundreds of graduates are trying in vain to buy tickets is reprehensible, of course, but we do not believe that it can be prevented by the measures now being used...
...stories, "The Coward," by E. B. Sheldon '08, seems to the reviewer the most successful. The story of a reformed "sport" who becomes a clergyman, and ultimately, through fear of his inability to resist the attractions of the world, gives up everything, even love, to enter a religious order, is not by any means easy to handle, and the avoidance of sentimentality on the one hand and melodrama on the other deserves the highest praise.

In the second half, however, Groton scored four times, St. Mark's being unable to resist the superior weight and cleverly executed tricks of her opponents. St. Mark's, on the other hand, was unable to gain through Groton's strong line and was usually thrown back for a loss. The features of the game were two long dodging runs by Starr, the Groton quarterback...
