...opinion of Stubbs that correct officiating will speed up the game and add as much to college hockey as the new offside rule added to the professional game. Incidentally he also expressed the opinion that college hockey right now didn't want the new offside rule. This seems to substantiate popular opinion. The collegiate officials are trying to open up the game just as the pros are doing but from a different standpoint. The pro magnates are throwing away some of the fine points of hockey in permitting offside play and are catering to the crowds in their attempt...
...recent agitation for a boxing team, therefore, would seem to have a sound foundation. Figures show that at the present time there are between 100 and 150 men working out in the Hemenway Gymnasium any where from three to five times a week under the direction of Lawrence Conley, boxing instructor.

...staunchest beliefs, one that he retained to his dying day, that lack of sexual expression is followed by a mortal illness." Though his memoirs are never wholly to be believed, the two adventures of which he was proudest (the escape from the Leads and the duel with Branicki) seem to have been authentic. Author S. Guy Endore bases his account of Casanova on the Memoirs, then takes the wind out of his hero's sails by pointing out, at the end of each chapter, the biggest whoppers. But Author Endore, a good Casanovist, is a sympathetic interpreter. This...
