Thurston is now Houdini. He describes his tricks, but never explains them. His most sensational "illusion" was chopping off a friend's head. Because women fainted he never repeated it. He is contemptuous of Oriental "magic." Out of three thousand fakirs he examined in India, not one had even heard of the rope trick. (A rope is thrown into the air, is mysteriously suspended while a boy climbs up it, disappears.) The easiest people to fool, says Thurston, are scientists, men-of-letters, psychologists. The hardest are lawyers and preachers because "they do not lose their poise" when invited...
...Harvard Freshman soccer team lost to Worcester Academy by the score of three goals to nothing Saturday afternoon on the field behind the Business School. The schoolboys outplayed their opponents in every department of the game.

The much heralded trie of Cawthon, Bethea and Sauls could not produce any real offensive threat against the Crimson...
...first time in three games Captain Barrett was relieved of his duties as running guard and he subsequently played a much better game at defensive tackle. Kuehn justified his assignment at right tackle and Talbot again proved that he is still to be considered for a first team guard berth. His tackle of Bethea on the kickoff opening the second half was one of the cleanest and fiercest seen in the Stadium this year. The line as a whole clicked much better than it did against the Big Green, bad tackling being its only weakness...
