...Davis '30 are the other tackles on the University squad. Levin rose from the class ranks to Second team standing last year, and this year looms as one of the best University substitute possibilities. Both Alcock and Davis were promoted from the Seconds last week; the former wore a scrub uniform last year, while the latter was on the Freshman squad. Two or three of the guards have been tried at tackle at various times during the past week, and it is possible that some of them may be shifted permanently to the latter position

...delegates were initiated without ceremony, at their hotels, into one of the most famed and entirely innocent of Swedish customs. Upon ringing for a bath, they were led down the corridor by a woman exactly resembling in age, attractiveness and dress the ordinary U. S. "scrub-woman." Unsuspecting, many U.
