There are the usual difficulties: living quarters are overcrowded, uncomfortable, dirty; food is scanty and not too good; the water supply is whimsical. But when news comes that a rival construction at Kharkov has broken the record for concrete pouring, shock-brigaders gird up their dirty loins, beg permission to have a try at the record themselves. Ishchenko's brigade gets the honor. It is partly like a sporting event, more like a battle. There are two deserters...

C. line forced a hole barely big enough for a wiry little quarterback named Irvine Warburton to wriggle through. He scampered this way and that for 60 yd., through the whole California team, outdistanced the last tackier...
While the Freshmen are playing Andover this afternoon, the latter's deadliest rival, Exeter, will meet the Harvard Jayvee soccer team at Exeter. The Freshman team has already defeated the New Hampshire boys, 5-1, and the Jayvees hope to duplicate the feat...
