...frequently happens in marine disasters, the first boatload of women upset while being lowered to the water. The second, sucked close to the still-thrashing propellers, was smashed. At least four women were drowned and more would have perished had not Steward Willy Bruns dived bravely from the rail of the third deck to their rescue. Apart from this accident, the rest of the survivors were landed safely...
...disapprove of them. In little old Setauket, on Long Island's North Shore, that set up eddies of talk behind green-shuttered windows whenever he walked down the street. Plump, rich Julia Smith, in whose backyard is the grave of an ancestor killed in the Revolution, was especially upset.

Of course, it the French and Germans had leveled the other's smelters, the war would have ended sooner. And so would war-time profits. That was that. Briey and Dombasle came unscathed through...
...enough to go into a three-fold tie for the championship of the League. The reason for this mathematical tie is that Cornell. Pennsylvania and Columbia all have scheduled encounters with this same bottom-place triumvirate of Yale, Dartmouth, and Princeton. If playoffs of postponed games don't upset this balance, the Mitchellmen have still at lest a paper chance of the pennant. The chance isn't too good a one, but judging by records so far Harvard ought to be able to take its four or five names if it can settle down and show something better than...
