...first skirmish of the war took place after Olivet's football team won its last home game with Anderson College (13-6) in November. President Ashby, a football fan, declared a holiday to celebrate. The Smith group of teachers and their student followers disdainfully held classes anyway. Later, in a speech to Detroit alumni, President Ashby remarked that most of the student troublemakers in the uproar over the sacking of Akeley came from one race and one locality. The S.A.C.s decided that he was referring to Olivet's Jewish students from New York, demanded at a mass meeting...
...there was a better college basketball team anywhere than the Billikens of St. Louis University, the Billikens hadn't met it yet.

...staff for their Harvard visitors. Although outfitting an entire section in this garb may appear difficult, it will be nothing strange to Elke, who has an established reputation at Stanford for doing the bizarre and difficult. Among his accomplishments are a full-fledged but unofficial rally for the Bridge Team and the political maneuvering of an unknown local guitar player into a leading candidate for student council president...
