...should certainly query as to whether those are logical inferences which you draw from the slight increase in the Socialistic vote polled at the November election. In proportion to the number of votes cast wasn't it really a diminution? The vote was really a severe disappointment to that party and I venture that had it not been for the incarceration of their illustrious nominee the Socialists would have secured more votes. G. N. W. MONAUGHTON...
...some barracks built by the government during the S. A. T. C. period, into stables. These now house their Artillery Unit's horses, equipment, and polo ponies. The work was done by the enlisted detachment stationed there, assisted by a few carpenters provided by the college, which bore what slight expense there was. Major Goetz believes that it would be possible to transfer some of the unused temporary stables now at Camp Devens to Soldiers Field, and set them up with but little outside help from carpenters.

...judges in the Advocate's recent short-story competition seem to have made a sound choice in awarding the prize to E. A.

Skiddy of the Class of 1865 S., has been able to make up the annual deficit, and, so far as we know, there is no indisposition on the part of the graduates to keep on attending to the job. On the contrary...
...ball is knocked out of the thrower's hand, the play shall be the same as a fumble, and the ball become free. Such a change would not help the game, because it will make the offense cautious about using the forward pass, and this would take away any slight advantage which the offense has over the defense. This would be contrary to the whole idea of football rules, which is to give the offense an even or slightly better chance than the defense. In addition to this, such a change would take away from the glamor of the game...
