...present, Ernest Martin Hopkins, has repeatedly taken a militant stand in behalf of free speech. "It turning handsprings on top of the college gymnasium would teach men to think," he told me, "I would be perfectly willing to do it." When William Z. Foster was invited by the Dartmouth Round Table to speak on the left-wing movement of labor, President Hopkins said: "Personally I am opposed to Foster. I think that he has not used his influence and power wisely and has sometimes misled his followers, but the students can hear him in a college hall if they wish...
Little was said when Miss Browne qualified for her first national golf championship with a 96 (rather high) over the Rhode Island Country Club links at Providence, R. I. Eyebrows went up when she eliminated Louise Fordyce, Ohio State champion, in the second round. Eyebrows went higher, exclamations were heard, when she entered the semi-finals at the expense of Bernice Wall, of Oshkosh, Wis.

And Hope, in turn, was scotched in the final by Willie Murray, of the West Hill Club, London...

Any clodhopper is likely to beat you. ... I may win in a round." Firpo: "My plan-my big plan-is to attack Wills' body. I do not think the man lives who can stand my blows to heart, ribs and wind...
Tempestuous Gerald Patterson and bandy-legged little Pat O'Hara Wood, both of Australia, battered their way past France to the challenge round of 1924 Davis Cup play.* Lurking near the Longwood (Boston) courts a third Australian, sagacious, seasoned Norman E. Brookes, gave counsel to his countrymen between sets. In Manhattan, the East played the West, tied 3 matches each. For the first time in his young life, Vincent Richards (East) won an important match from "Little Bill" Johnston (West), second ranking player of the U. S. In doubles, Richards and Francis T. Hunter, who together are Wimbledon...
