...charge made in his letter of resignation on April 25 by President Hodgdon of Valparaiso University that that institution was a "hotbed of Bolshevism, Communism and other cults" has been denied by the trustees of Valparaiso University in a letter sent out on May 10.

Marietta, coached by "Greasy" Neale of the Cincinnati Reds, comes to Boston Saturday much as did Valparaiso--a "mystery team" that has turned aside all comers in Midwestern football--outside Conference circles. Ohio press-agents have been hard at work supplying the Eastern press with adjectives describing their hopefuls, and if a mere half of them are ture, B. C. will need all the available strength it can round...
