...sharp-eyed gumshoer from Yale will slink into the Harvard and Dartmouth stands, watch the opponents every game and report to Jones on what they saw, according to a non-scouting agreement between Yale and the teams she will play next fall. Furthermore the Dartmouth Athletic Council, afire with zeal to reform the game, has sent out letters to Brown, Cornell and Harvard Universities, major opponents on next fall's schedule, proposing similar measures. A great deal of fuss has been made over this trival change and we are inclined to agree with the World that when such elaborate means...

...Bells altoed. Morning classes were over at Harvard University. Through snow beleagured quads, Harvard students began to march or slink to their luncheons. Outside Langdell Hall, a group loitered long, seemed, in fact to have taken up a permanent station there. More and more kept coming, some with ear-tabs (for it was cold) tall young men who waddled, short young men who strode; the worried, the weasel-faced, the debonair: men distinguished by their intelligence, by their apparel; lambs, lions, scoffers, leaders, bleaters, men who, in other clothing might have been artists. Seven hundred idle, able, rowdy, snobbish...

...Cambridge. Bells altoed. Morning classes were over at Harvard University. Through snow-beleagured quads, Harvard students began to march or slink to their luncheons.

More and more kept coming, some with tippets, some with ear-tabs (for it was cold)?tall young men who waddled, short young men who strode; the worried, the weasel-faced, the debonair; men distinguished by their intelligence, by their apparel; lambs, lions, scoffers, leaders, bleaters, men who, in other clothing might have...

...spectacular. But what of Harrison? Won't he furnish drama! Won't he rake the Republicans over the coals! What will he leave of the Republican platform, that will then be a newborn babe, brought forth into the world only a few days before? Won't the Republican candidates slink away, like Cataline, before the scourging he will give them! Harrison is a man worth listening to. Hear his famous tongue as it has crackled...

...dies in the last act. And Isolde expires on his body, chanting the famous Liebestod. Hardened operagoers are in the habit of arriving in time for Wagner's soul-stirring prelude, and then marching out. They reappear for the great love-duet, and go out again. Finally they slink into their seats-just in time for the Liebestod. But let it here be said that this last performance, featuring Herr Curt Taucher as Tristan, Florence Easton as Isolde, and Arthur Bodanzky as conductor, was so good that it compelled many of the most inveterate "duckers" to listen to every...
