...Church, but he never carried out this intention for he believed that the people should rule in religious matters, not the bishops. He joined the Presbyterian Church but as that did not conform to his ideas he left it, for he did not hesitate to do what he thought right. Another example of his fearlessness in this respect is shown in the stand he took against the king of England, who he said should be judged by the laws of England...
...civil service examination. Once the applicant had passed it, he was a member of the force for good. This absurd method has now been changed and the selection of the detective, as well as his dismissal, depends wholly on the commissioner.

He is 20 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs 198 pounds...
...Crowley, this year's efficient ends, will be again available. Brown, Harding and Houston are the other candidates for end. To fill the guard positions are Dunlap and West, who played against Yale, as well as good substitute and Freshman material to draw on. Smith, who played at right halfback this year, is a promising candidate for centre. He played a brilliant game in that position on his Freshman team, and is much better suited to it than to the backfield. Hadden, this year's substitute centre, is a good man, and plays an aggressive game...
