...along the Wandorobo, Coolidge was joined by Colby, and they started for Mt. Suswa to shoot lions. One night after the latter had obtained several fine specimens, a stockade was built and a dead antelope placed nearby as a decoy. On this carcass Coolidge arranged a camera with a string attached to the shutter and then waited inside the stockade. He had taken two splendid flashlight pictures of lionesses and was rearranging the camera when a large lion charged him. He ran and dove through the door of the enclosure. Next morning the lion's tracks were discovered only four...
Pictures will be shown illustrating the types of country through which the lecturers traveled, the different tribes of natives, and specimens of wild animals. Coolidge obtained several photographs of beasts of prey at night with a special camera which he invented for the purpose. He put a string across the animal's path and when it was touched a flashlight was set off which at the same time released the shutter on a camera, placed in an advantageous position. In this way pictures were obtained which it would have been impossible to get in the ordinary manner...

The forwards were unable to preserve any consistent team-work, for the Boston players out-skated them and coming up from behind, usually intercepted the passes. Most of the play was around the University team's goal and Chadwick made many difficult stops...
...team won its first scheduled game by defeating the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 4 to 3, in the Boston Arena last night. At the beginning of the game the University line-up contained many substitutes and the team-work was poor. In the second period, however, when the first-string men were in, the team-play improved. Technology depended almost entirely on the individual work of Gould and Stucklen, the latter scoring all three goals...
