...contention that a shift from club or fraternity houses to the rooms offered by the House System will work an even greater hardship little need be said. President Lowell has repeatedly pointed out that men are not to be forced to enter the Houses. If it so develops that the atmosphere in the Houses is such to attract men to them, the extinction of the clubs involved will be but another example of the sound principal of survival of the fittest...
...decline in what admittedly was an inflated market was touched off by the hammering of bear fools that finally tapped a layer of stop loss orders, whether the some what uncertain business conditions that appeared in September particularly in the direction of automobiles, "specialties" and rubber brought the shift in public opinion, whether the recent discussion of the Massachusetts, Public Utilities' Commission unsettled the upward movement, or whether the Bank of England's raising its rate a month ago exerted the final pressure that broke the market is in a sense an academic question...
...most startling shift involved Putnam, veteran quarterback. In yesterday afternoon's long scrimmage and signal drill, the regular field general was given a try at left halfback.

One of the largest single employers of Antioch brawn and brain is General Motors Corp. Last year General Motors supplied positions at Oakland Motor Car Co. (Pontiac, Mich.), Frigidaire Corp. (Dayton), Fokker...
Harvard's starting lineup now seems practically determined. Four new faces will be seen among the eleven who will answer the call of the referee's opening whistle. Two of these men, Devens and Potter, are upon Team A as a result of a radical mid-week shift by Coach Horween, while Gildea is in there because of Ticknor's absence, and Douglas has regained the post of which he was deprived because of an injury. Whether or not Douglas will stay in the game long is problematical...
