...hard-won victory for a team of Chinese students, 1-0; but a week later the University once more triumphed with a defeat of Springfield, 1-0. In its annual trip the team was unfortunate in having to play two games in succession and travel two nights, but in spite of this they tied Cornell and played a splendid game against Princeton, so that it was with difficulty that the latter won 3-0. Pennsylvania won the sixth game, but in the Yale game last week a gruelling match ended with a scoreless tie, P. K. Fisher '20 carried...

The efforts at compromise made by the Administration forces met a stone wall of resistance...
...United States, however, rather quixotically declines to recognize the Soviet Government even by so much as accepting Mr. Marten's offer. This is rather like biting one's nose to spite one's face. Here is an opportunity to get rid of a large number of undesirables, "thousands" of whom, according to the Russian representative, have requested passports to return to the peace and tranquility of Bolshevism. No international conventionalities or red tape should be permitted to interfere with the rats' abandonment of our "sinking" Ship of State. Give them their passports and God bless...
