...looked to take second as he did last year, and Veazie of Dartmouth is favored for third. The 100 yard run is Harvard's with Johnny White toeing the line; Quimby of Dartmouth and Vipond of the Ithacans are rated second and third. The mile run is a toss-up. Cornell has the Mangan-protege Vipond in this race, and the Big Green has Quimby, also a first class distance man; but they will both have been considerably de-energized by their race in the 1000 yard run event. It remains to be seen whether these iron men can stave...

...last days of Grau San Martin. The only inference is that any policy which is consistently productive of nothing but failure should be abandoned.

Dartmouth's hard-hitting seven-man defense had Princeton's backfield tumbling and fumbling until the second half when Princeton shifted to a passing attack. Of 14 forward passes, Princeton completed eight, one an underhand toss to the corner of the field for the only touchdown of the game, 7-to-0. Princeton remained unbeaten, untied, unscored-on for the season...

...erected for public punishment; mass demonstrations have been outlawed; the opposition press is now effectively muzzled. One thing which this situation ensures is that the German coup d'etat will not be reproduced in its original form in Austria. No single party will be able suddenly to toss aside democratic forms and seize power while its adversaries sit dazed by the Unexpectedness of It All; every faction is keenly aware of the danger which the others present to it. The country exists in a condition of armed suspense...
