...baseball team won from Amherst yesterday afternoon in an exciting, but poorly played game, by the score of 8 to 7. Although the team started out well, the subsequent showing was the worst of the year, and demands an immediate and decided improvement...
...United States must think not merely of the menace its self. From their birth she has watched over the little republics of South America and helped them to work out the great problem of self government. Can she now calmly see done to them the worst injustice that can be done to any state--their land taken from them? The law never takes the mechanic's tools, the lawyer's books, nor can it take the home of the bankrupt. Once allow a European state a foot-hold in South America and it will be impossible to prevent its taking...

In the short line-up last night there was little fast teamwork and the basket throwing of almost all the men was very inaccurate.

Our system offers great rewards for one bold political "hold-up" in the Freshman year, and usually it is tried and sometimes it succeeds. Worst of all, if the class has a well-grounded dissatisfaction over any class officer, opposition to his re-election cannot be organized without dragging into the discussion personalities which must be distasteful to everybody. It is largely because of this that the custom is so fixed of continuing...
