Before Princeton and Yale are to be worried about, however, the Crimson tankmen must consider the strong challenge Brown will make tomorrow evening to upset the Uien applecart. The Bruin swim team apparently has some of the glant-killing tendencles of its football men and will be correspondingly hard to beat.

...with interest the unprecedented decision reached in the Manchester Assizes in the case of Smith v. Hall & Pickles. For her fright, Mrs. Smith won ?2,500, assessed against Hall & Pickles and Mr. Cunliffe of Droylsden, since both were found equally responsible for the motor crash.
