...Armstrong '14 and W. M. Washburn '15 won the University tennis championship in doubles yesterday by defeating H. H. Bundy 2L. and F. T. Nelson 3L., 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Though Bundy and Nelson were playing in better form than yesterday, they were forced into a lobbing game by their opponents, and given but few chances for pass shots. Armstrong and Washburn excelled at the net, making most of their points from that position by accurate placing and killing. The play was marked by many brilliant rallies...

...Though billed as a musical causerie there is in this new entertainment far more of the tuneful than of the chatty, and if we are to accept the verdict of packed houses this is quite as it should be. A slender plot for which two obliging comedians apologize--why should they?--a variety of entertainment ranging from trick bicycle riding to a classic ballet, uncommonly good taste in the way of settings and costumes, and a chorus made up not of painted puppets but of spirited and gifted human beings--these are a few of the charms of a thoroughly...
