What had these heroes done? Who were they? As to nine of the ten, Moscow correspondents could find out absolutely nothing, not even where they live or what may be their jobs.

To the track team goes the dubious honor of having probably the worst season. Riddled by gradu-games, lost in the I. C. A. A. A. A. gamesation, it was fifth in the Heptagonal at New York, lost the dual meet to Yale by a slight margin, was barely successful in whipping Dartmouth for its only victory. The Freshman on the other hand won all three dual...
