Perhaps it is wrong to wish that Ox-onians should prepare at Eton or Cantabridgians at Harrow and yet the singleness of purpose attained is to be desired. Under the present modus operandi one prepares at Oscaloosa High, aims for Harvard, and goes to Georgia Tech,--a diversion of purpose hardly a credit to a student's ambition. While the interchange of educational parts made possible by College Board Examinations is a happy convenience, it has its cultural limitations. It will be far nobler when the man who prepares at Oscaloosa High either secures a Harvard degree or none...
...Crimson lineup will be the same as that which faced M. I. T. last Wednesday except for a couple of minor changes which are the result of tournaments which have been held during the two days since the Tech first year grapplers went down to defeat. As Springfield has a rather indifferent record the Freshmen are not expected to meet very hard oppositions...
...four relays to be held at the B. A. A. meet Saturday night. There will be a University two-mile relay against Yale, also a Freshman relay over half the distance. M. I.

An interlocking chain of broadcasting stations brought them all together, from Massachusetts to California. The main speaker of the evening...
Captain Tibbets was the first runner in this event, and ran away to a 40 yard lead over Kirwin, the Tech representative. He was followed by Haggerty, cross-country captain-elect, whose steady stride brought him ten yards further ahead of Meagher of M. I. T. Kane, the next University man, added another ten yards on Smith, who ran third for Tech. At this time it looked as if the race was to be a walkaway, but Laness, the Tech captain, running fourth, began on the first lap to make up the sixty yards conceded to Watters of the University...
