Juridical experts of the French Foreign Office contributed to Paris' somewhat fantastic calm by gravely declaring that juridically there was nothing wrong about the German Army's entering Austria at the "invitation" of the Austrian Government.

Reilly of Rutgers, and White of Bowdoin tied for second behind the Crimson captain, and Rose of Rutgers was fourth...
