...wrote, while custodian of enemy property, he had found a pile of packing cases in a German warehouse in the East African lake town of Bukoba. One "was slightly packed with sawdust and had a smaller case inside. This also was very well made and strongly fastened. When I opened this the contents proved to be a native's skull. Whether this was the skull of Mkwawa I cannot say, but very great care had been taken in packing it." He concluded that he did not know what became of the skull, because he left it where...
...cask, a bartender with Speise-und-Getränke Karten, a motto: Des Lebens Sonnenschein ist trinken, lieben, fröhlich sein ("Life's sunshine is to drink, to love, to be merry"). At first the Rathskeller had another bit of Munich realism - a six-inch layer of sawdust on the floor - but it got in people's shoes, was removed. Last week the Rathskeller was as usual selling .5% beer and chocolate milk shakes, while students clamored for 3.2% beer as soon as possible. President Fred H. Clausen of the University Board of Regents was against...
...done about the general situation, he realizes, the flood gates of 3.2 per cent beer will doubtless soon be opened upon the whole nation. But in Cambridge, with a faculty and a student body supposedly versed in liquid lore, a complete return to the era of lager beer and sawdust floors can be averted.

Under the dim lights of the New Lecture Hall this evening there will be a pageant of the nations, not that gala event which blesses the sawdust ring, but the more serious conception of international pageantry produced under the direction of Phillips Brooks House. The Harvard Model League, of all the 20,000 in the country, is said to be the best, but even so, one wonders. Just like the real league in Geneva, they say, so splendid to arouse interest in international affairs, and at the same time it teaches how the diplomatic machinery works. Of course, there...
Pole Vault. Bill Miller of Stanford lay on his back in the sawdust pit, looking up at the bar, 14 ft., 3 in. over his head. The bar was jouncing and shaking but the huge, pleased roar of 85,000 spectators did not make it fall. Japan's little Shuhei Nishida, grinning broadly, helped Miller to his feet. Amazingly, Nishida had vaulted higher than Bill Graber or George Jefferson, two U. S. contestants who had been expected to fight it out with Miller for the Olympic championship. At 14:3, Nishida had tried three times and missed, then watched Miller...
