Especially encouraging was the bang-up game played throughout by the un- tried Harvard forward wall. Aided by their consistent tactics the backs were able to sweep the ball down into scoring position several times, but unsuccessful tries for field goals made their attempts useless.

Although the backfield contains no stars of the first order, O'Toole, Oaks, and Jerome form the nucleus of what promises to be a better than average secondary...

It will be interesting in view of the marked evidence of pool manipulation during the past ten days in certain stocks so happily designated by the noted British economist Angas as "rubbish" shares, to note what action, if any, the Securities Commission will take. Or, maybe only "manipulation" for a decline is to be censured. An interesting stock to watch is McLellan Stores, which, in the midst of, or emerging from reorganization activities...
