Although Yale made a remarkable showing against West Virginia, it placed itself in a precarious position by losing for the season, it is feared, two of her best men, Tom Dickens, who was regarded as the best tackle on the squad, wrenched his knee so badly that he will be shelved until next year. As Bob Lay, who was first string backfield material last year until injured, bruised both his arm and leg Saturday, it is now expected that he will be lost to the team for the second consecutive season. At present the hospital list totals 10, including Dickens...

None of the other dancing can keep up with the standard set by the Mosconi's, but the Ara Sisters, in their own dancing creations, and James Donovan and Marie Lee, with dancing, singing, and Irish patter, were well received. In his monologue on the League of Nations, Tom Lewis gives an unusual and successful type of humor, while Katherine Murray contributes some very original songs and recitations. Other performers are George Kelly in a satire "The Flattering Word," Selbini and Grovini, who show "The Follies of Vaudeville," Dolly Grey and Bert Byron, and Keegan and Edwards...
